The RTC Core is now a basic component set for remoting and web development.
It mostly compares to something a Java developer is used to having at start,
since you write server-side code for processing requests and execute remote
functions. So, it is the base for developing any internet-enabled
application by coding the server to produce HTML content for the browser,
and/or using remote functions to writing server-side functionality useabe by
any RTC Client.
The two things that RTC mostly resembles now in the Delphi world are:
1.) IntraWeb: only without a Forms designer, since you send your web content
as pure HTML code.
2.) RemObjects, since RTC is offering very simmilar functionality without
the use for shared interfaces

I'd love to do that. I plan to port the components to .NET next year, but
I've also thought about Kylix and other Pascal versions. The only things
that should change are the connection provider components, which I have kept
"under the hood", so they can be replaced without compromising the public
interfaces.The rest of the code should be compatible across sysems, by using
compiler directives.

Yes. That is what I want to do next, but that will be quite a lot of work,
since you need a separate component for everything visual. This will be made
available to everyone who has licensed RTC Code as add-on, since not
everyone will want to use those components to build their server/client
applications.

I plan on making the Remote Functions work with SOAP,
the same way they work now by using the RTC format.
Java methods could then be called using SOAP, if they are published as a
service.
But, I could also write a component set for creating RTC Objects in Java,
so you could write the same remote functions in java and call them using a
RTC native format.
