[DUG] Embarcadero article

[Jolyon Smith]

aiui, you'll be seeing a delivery for your productivity concerns very soon,
the Weaver release.  And some of the enhancements coming in the IDE look
very interesting, as do the far reaching extensions to the RTTI system and
long overdue encapsulation of the OpenTools API (which in turn will likely
open the door for 3rd party IDE productivity improvement projects).

Project X (xplat) and Project Commodore (64-bit) do not impinge on Project
Weaver (or indeed on Project Chromium (VS2010 support for "Prism")).

 "Smile", they said.  "it could be worse!"
 So I did.  And it was.

Personally I don't care much about 64 bit.  Cross platform would be 
nice, but realistically we have 1 or 2 inquiries out of hundreds 
regarding support for mac or linux - no one has ever asked me about when 
we are going to support 64 bit.  What I want to see in future versions 
of Delphi is stuff that increases my productivity.

getting from customers and potential customers worldwide is that cross
platform is a higher priority. I don't deny that there are people who
desperately want 64 bit, I know people in that boat around Asia. Perhaps
those who want cross platform more haven't taken the time to vote on your
poll. The ratio of responses on this list has also been interesting.

sincerely hope this decision doesn't make it impossible for you to use
Delphi. Ultimately though, all we can do is gather as much data as possible
make the best decision we can, and then adjust as we go. That's what we're
doing.
