Horeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, Delphi for Linux :)

===============================================================================
Inprise (previously Borland) has carried out a developer survey of
24,000
developers, which revealed that over 40 percent of respondents were
interested in
developing with Delphi on Linux and 40 percent were also interested in
using a
C/C++ development tool on Linux. The results also indicate that the
majority of
developers participating in the survey are planning application
development and
client server database development projects on Linux. 

Consequently Inprise intends to port most if not all of its development 
products to Linux. The porting of Delphi is particularly important
because 
it is estimated that there are over 1 million Delphi developers. The
company 
has been shipping InterBase its database product on Linux for over 
a year - but that product was developed under Unix anyway and always 
had a Unix incarnation. Inprise has now announced the immediate 
availability of VisiBroker, its ORB, for Linux and also has a Linux
version 
of its Java development tool, JBuilder. Delphi and the C tools will
follow. 

The porting of a product like Delphi is a significant move even for
Linux, 
which seems to be attracting new applications and software products on a
daily
basis. However Borland has not yet said which Linux GUIs will be
supported. 
If Borland provides code level portability then a whole bundle of Delphi 
based applications will suddenly be available on Linux.
