Re: New Company - new ideas ?

Hi!

Borland was packed with new ideas and milked Delphi W32
to finance them. If DevCo would do the same, maybe
it is time for a new spinoff? Old story new players?
Borland is now talking about focus. Now what is the focus
of the new DevCo?

All the time some new technologies, new attemps of this
and that and the primary buisness is neglected.

Regards!

Since there's new company DevCo forming now with focus on developers,
will there be new ideas ?
Originally Borland came with something new for programmers - pascal,
and then again - Delphi.
This allowed Borland stay ahead of competition, because they provided
programming languages and tools nobody had, they provided advantage to
programers, nobody could give.

Now MS and Sun have caught up with Delphi in terms on language features
and tools (IDE).
And Borland does not have anymore the advantage it had. Probably that's
one of the main reasons they are selling Delphi.


The problem is for new company DevCo the reason Borland get rid of
Delphi stays the same. It did not vanish. There's still no advantage
DevCo has over dotnet csharp and java.
Delphi is a beaten card.
They need a new card, a new joker.


I'm thinking about providing top notch implementation of new language
and a IDE in best Turbo traditions for it.
I'm talking about functional languages that are getting more and more
popular.
With Intel massively moving to multicore processors, and huge memory,
funciotnal languages could be that advantage for programmers they have
been waiting for.
The dare state, functional langauges are in - gives DevCo excellent
chance to shoot first.
It could be Turbo-Lisp, or Turbo-Scheme, or Turbo-Haskell, or
Turbo-Ruby, you name it.
With Vsual builders, components, database access, grids, treeviews.


This would be something that will bring hundred of thausand (if not
millions) customers to DevCo.
