Is there an open letter indicating the Kylix Future?
I'm working on a few OpenSource projects for Kylix Open.
But it would be nice to know some extra support from Borland. I believe that
Kylix C++ is gone (with the new C++ Builder X), but Kylix Delphi is
different, at least i believe on it.

Allen Bauer is Principal Architect for the "Delphi family",

Kylix is still on a development schedule:

There's another one where Danny mentions it's on the three year
schedule.
As far as I know, there aren't any plans to give us a "formal
update" this year. I'd personally wait for Delphi 9 to come out,
or Christmas, then start asking for an update.

Kylix was stupidly designed to be so tightly integrated

libraries, that it would have to be totally redesigned.
Borland is obviously not up to that for an unsuccessful
product.
 

Hi Zambhala,
the CrossKylix plug-in for Delphi, I can even use the Delphi 7 IDE to
work on my projects, and compile them using the Kylix command-line
compiler (so I won't need to run the Kylix IDE itself).
additions and updates for the database and server capabilities. That
shouldn't take too much time (I don't need a revamped IDE ;-)

But Bob, if Borland gave you a box of cowshit, wouldn't you
find something to love about it? "This wonderful-smelling
box of cowshit can be used to fertilize my flowers and at
the same time attract the best flies in Holland! I am
very impressed and use it every day!"
;-)
 

Hi Zambhala,
I don't use everything from Borland - there's just too much. I don't use
JBuilder anymore for example (but I still use Delphi, C++Builder, Kylix,
C#Builder and Delphi for .NET).
My wife loves the flowers, but I go for the fruits - things you can eat!
