If ther

base I don't think they can avoid this. I'd also like to know just
what that
"other" direction you mention is... Web ?
I cant jump to cocoa anyway since my work has to be cross platform.
And
personally I would dread having to revert to C++ ( plus something
like QT
for the cross platform bit )
Maybe i'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. I think part of why I said it
publicly instead of just dreading it privately like i have, is the
hope that Geoff will swoop into the thread and tell us that of course
they plan to make their framework threadsafe :)
I just look at the things RB is willing to sink huge development
efforts into, and its mostly things to capture new markets. I don't
think this will capture a market as much as stop the leaking of those
users who outgrow RB for major projects. Perhaps we can convince RS
this is something they need to do - but I get the sense they don't
currently consider it a big priority.
lets hope i'm wrong.
