I think it's a great idea too, somehow the names "Turbo Delphi", "Turbo Explorer", and "Turbo C#" don't quite sound right to me, Turbo Pascal and Turbo C++ sounded much better back in the day. "Turbo Delphi" sounds a bit weird I think, but that's just my 2c.
Anyway, this will be a great comeback I believe, sadly since installing Ubuntu Linux almost 2 months ago, I can't see myself going back to Windows in a hurry anymore, only for games now, I've finally left Windows behind thank god, and I am not missing it. Hopefully Turbo Delphi will be able to output Linux stuff, even if it is going to be through the Mono framework, I know RemoObjects Chrome can, however I still prefer binaries to managed code. However, I am having great fun playing around with GTK2 in Freepascal at low level, without Lazarus that is. As a hobbyist programmer, I am thinking of writing a cross platform set of GUI libraries for Freepascal, between GTK2 and WIN32, but with similarities to Java, using layout managers, so the control sizing doesn't screw up between the two platforms. I don't care how long it takes me, I just love to do that sort of stuff, writing open source projects that help future generations.
