It won't be much of a bussiness for CodeGear/Borland.
Maybe a good idea for someone's personal open source project...
There are several "native Java" projects, doing trying to
do the same stuff, but with Java.
The C# programming language by itself, adds stuff that wasn't
available to C++. A few years ago, Borland proposed to expand
the C++ language to support properties, events, and other
stuff that is currently SUPPORTED BY JAVA AND C#.
Search in Goggle's newsgroup search:
borland.public.cppbuilder.non-technical
"Borland proposes PME additions to the C++ standard"
Many C/C++ rejected those additions, altough necessary.
There is another important feature about C#/Java versus
C++/Delphi: Module support.
In C#/Java all units/modules are "dynamic libraries",
and are called on "the fly". Developers doesn't need to
"prepare" functions from a "dynamic library", as it does
in Delphi or C++. The NET/Java compiler adds the implicit
necessary code.
A native C#/Java compiler with static libraries may be
an interesting idea, but doesn't provide enough benefit/cost
for a commercial compiler, not at the moment, I think.
Just my 2 cents...

again, Lazarus as a possible solution?

So this is good news for me.
I use Delphi but I like knowing there's an alternative to compile my sources.
This is especially important for me now since there isn't a Delphi Win64 compiler yet.
Good job Lazarus team.

I've tried it several times (since it has been first announced) and
never got a version that would work, recurring issues being:
- garbled icons in the IDE (have to use the hints to find which
component in the palette you're selecting)
- compiled output that isn't recognized as an EXE (and thus won't run at
all)
I know these are auto snapshots or something that aren't guaranteed to
work, but having at least one version that a human has minimally tested
and that offers minimal functionality would be nice :)
