Re: Why PHP?

Michael,

Re cross-platform Delphi and the comments about CLX (VCL for Linux)
in the paper. I'd like to see more discussion and thoughts around CLX
and Qt and Gtk...

- GTK is too bug
- I think that QT 4 will be nice, but it should be more compatible with
regular VCL, the old aproach was not cool.


what would a second generation CLX look like?

At moment I dont care too much about this,
I really need write App servers in Linux, socket, database, remobjects.

but I like this project http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/index.html



Could it be completely open source and community developed with
CodeGear support?

Why not? I can give my 2 cents.


How long would it take to develop?

First we have to define what to develop?
And for that we need a updated compiler and RTL, its up to CG.

For CLX we did a mechanical port of VCL, then "hand wired" it from
GDI > to Qt - it was very manual and time consuming, took a loooong
time.

Instead to rewrite a VCL why not create a compatibility layer between
CG VCL and the SO Graphic library?

Think about work with people that have something ready, eg FPGui.
