Captain Jake's Top Ten List of what I'd like to see in the next version of Delphi



1) Integrated code profiler. I want to be able to see how long each
individual line of code is taking to execute on average, max, min, etc. just
like you could in SleuthQA.
2) Automatic integrated memory leak detection.
3) Modelling facities in Pro
4) Extensive language and class support for threading, and a threadsafe
version of the VCL.
5) Transparent interop for .NET classes, assemblies and DLL's from within
Win32 code and vice versa.
6) Backward DCU compatibility.
7) Transparent VCL support for MacOS ad Linux
8) C# 2.0 compatibility
9) Together-based functionality replaced by ModelMaker tools integrated
right into the IDE.
10) Wizard for finding and potentially removing unnecessary units from uses
clauses.


[I think #6 would greatly enhance sales of any new version of Delphi,
because the number one thing holding back most would-be upgraders is the
cost associated with buying new versions of components and libraries for
which they do not have the source code.]
