Embarcadero\u2019s Delphi Live<\/a> conference is running this week, and there are some interesting reports coming out. Robert Love has the best summary<\/a> I\u2019ve found so far. As I understand it, the next Delphi is codenamed \u201cWeaver\u201d and adds Windows 7 support, including the Touch APIs. More interesting is that this will be followed at some point by \u201cProject X\u201d, a cross-platform native code compiler for Windows, Mac and Linux. There is also mention of \u201cProject Commodore\u201d, which brings full 64-bit support.<\/p>\n

Project X is the one that particularly grabs my attention. Cross-platform Delphi has been tried before, with Kylix, Delphi for Linux. Although promising, Kylix suffered on the technical side from Wine dependencies and on the marketing side from lack of demand for Delphi desktop applications. I do not have any technical information about Project X yet, but on the marketing side Mac OS X (and perhaps iPhone) is a great deal more promising than Linux.<\/p>\n

After suffering from under-investment for many years, it is great to see Delphi now getting a new lease of life in its new home, and I\u2019m looking forward to finding out more.<\/p>\n
