It would be cool if you guys can do few of the things with
Delphi such as
1. Win64
2. Generics for Win32/Win64
3. C++/CLI style integration between native/managed code
4. Improve quality of native compiler
5. Decent Unicode support
Can not talk much about marketing but I think if items above are
implemented then it can put Delphi back to the place where it
belongs at least on technical merits.

InterBase team. One comment made by Shaunak Mistry, an InterBase engineer,
was that he thought the rule was "once TeamB, always TeamB." I certainly
look on my stint as a TeamB'er (way, way back in the early '90s) as a high
point in my career. Nick will certainly replace TeamB moniker, but I doubt
he'll ever really stop being a member of TeamB.

Win64? A dual license should make sure you make money. Hech, if you
reduce the price of Pro to a reasonable amount, people would Pro just to
have the commercial license for the VCL.
Hoping you will at least consider it.

This makes me hope even more that I lose my bet about 30% staff reduction
within six months of the actual spin-off. It also makes me think I am far more
likely to lose that bet!
I gotta tell you, this news was quit a shocker. In the good sense, of course.
It seems to me that to be great product manager that this means you will have
to acknowledge and act to fix what is broken in Delphi. You've been a tireless
enthusiast for Delphi, which is good, as a product manager that doesn't believe
in his product will go nowhere. To be honest I would have seen you more as a
Delphi Evangelist or in DevRel, given that enthusiasm.
That's a small quibble though, and totally irrelevant. I find myself quite
envious that you get to sit in the hallowed halls of Scott's Valley, a place
I've not even had the fortune of visiting.
Good luck, Nick. Don't forget us little guys now that you've made it to the big
time. <g>

Strongly disagree; I'd rather have a great product than great marketing. Nick

My first wish is that you help push Delphi to not only be a .Net dev
tool. I would like to see improved/revived Linux support in particular.
Thanks :)
Also well done to Borland/Devco ! You made a good if not the best choice
for Delphi ! Someone who comes from the community - knows the community

Then maybe you ought to have the words

A set of fast, efficient and threadsafe containers and classes to assist in
the development of multithreaded apps would be nice. I find myself using a
lot of time constructing my own.

Having a good abstract baseclass and a threadsafe wrapper can help, but be
aware that while mutating the collection might be made threadsafe by the
collection itself, iterating it normally requires external synchronization.

There is some difference in the markup between viewing multiple entries on

My solution to that problem was to design the app so as to minimize the need
to iterate through collections that are shared between threads. However, I
should add that I am still researching the best ways to do interthread
communication. I've been trying a lot of different ideas in my newsreader,
some of which worked well and some of which crapped out. In fact, this is
basically what I've been doing with my newsreader for the last couple of
years--testing out new algorithms and ideas.
For example, one idea that is crapping out is a threadsafe version of
TStringList. It basically contained a TStringList inside a threadsafe access
class. The problem is that TStringList itself is a dog, and if too many
elements are placed in it, the searches I need to do on inserts to keep out
duplicates get too long and the locks cascade until the CPU is at 100%. The
threads sit there and wait for all the other threads to finish their
searches. So I need to redesign my processes that use this threadsafe
TStringList, probably to use a TThreadsafeQueue that I wrote (actually, it
is a consumer/producer object).

I like that disclaimer.
And even more the funny webpage that shows when you click on it :-)

It can't be sorted by the string unfortunately. It has to be found by an
integer in the object associated with the string.
It was a bad design choice. Quick and dirty. What I need to do is what I did
with the messages that populate the messages pane, a custom-written
container optimized specifically for the data and functionality I need.
