Raving on...
IMHO, in a perfect world the API between the GUI-generating part of the
said "Object Pascal" layer (bad name ;-) ) and the Widget Set depending
part of the "Widget Type" code, would be a just bi-directional stream of
propriety codes (see Martin's "ifi" project). This would make remoting
the GUI very easy and would allow for doing the Widget Set depending
code in a different language (e.g. in Java to do the GUI in a browser or
for Android) or in CIL-Pascal (Delphi-Prism) to reuse some of the
Lazarus code doing the GUI in a browser via Silverlight/Moonlight).
Maybe this might cost some performance (but OTOH, the transaction count
on this interface is not that high), but I feel it's worth considering
to make Lazarus a lot more usable for a wide range of applications.
