Also with any luck several generations of improved languages arise superceding
Java and that MS has nothing to do with it... Of course with the existence of
Murphys' law we will all be living in Caves(tm) under the QuiteBrightSun(tm) without
any functioning technology whatsoever (although the PR will claim it's a feature) all
courtesy of Mr Gates who will be immortal (naturally being aware of the limitations
of his own technology you can be sure he won't be using the MS ElixirOfLife(tm)
but rather the opensource Version (which he's secretly got control over anyway)...
That all said, I'm seriously wondering how many recivsion Delphi has left in it with
java more and more looking like a good solution for the Clustered Server, centralised
processing, thin-client, multitier model everyone is pushing these days ;)
I get the impression Borland is trying to prepare themselves for this eventuality and
that Delphi 5 or 6 might be the last in the delphi line... Let's hear it for ORACLE8i
and JBuilder3 apps with both ends being Java based and sharing an object model.
