"Embarcadero is now betting on cross-platform for Delphi and its partner
C++ Builder, which shares many of the same libraries. 'The most
important thing is native cross-platform, Mac and Linux. Some of our
biggest customers have moved completely to Mac. Internationally we don't
hear as much Mac interest, but Linux is really strong,' Williams said.
Wasn't this tried before, at least on Linux, with a 2001 product called
Kylix, which nobody bought?
'Two big differences,' according to Williams, at least. 'First, that
wasn't a cross-compile approach. People are fine developing on Windows.
I need to be able to debug against a remote machine, but I don't need
the whole IDE over there. The other difference [is] they were too early
as far as Linux goes, and from a visual standpoint now Mac matters. I've
never been so sure about an opportunity.' "
