Interesante entrevista:

con Danny Thorpe, el arquitecto Jefe de la linea de Delphi,C#,Kilyk en Borland...

Me parece interesante

1: Que muestra que a diferencia de la gente en VB, quienes estamos en Delphi nos movemos de lo lindo entre las plataformas...

A lot of the strength we have in the Delphi community is that we’ve been very successful at bringing people forward and stretching forward into new areas.

2: Que Borland no ha abandonado a Kilyk y estan mirando como asegurarle un futuro

We have some technical documents already drafted on what needs to be done to bring Kylix up to current standards since the last release three years ago. Linux has moved a lot since then and a fair amount of work needs to be done with Kylix.

3: Y lo que mas me llamo la atencion, que ya estan pensando que hacer con los procesadores multi-core:

One example is that I’m giving a lot of thought to how multicore processors are going to affect application development. The notion is that there is no more upside to gigahertz on the processors, the multicore processors are going to spread it out over multiple execution units.
....
If we can either redefine some of the existing language or introduce new pieces to the language that would say “this routine can execute independently of all the others” then you don’t have to worry about callback or a number of other things.

4: Que ya estan trabajando a ver si por fin hacen betas publicos y roadmaps
