They could improve it by just rewriting it in C++. Since 1998 or so people insist on Java being fast enough, but to this day I've yet to see a decent Java client application.

It is not exactly about programming language, but rather about architecture. It is the legacy of old constructions which requires refactoring.

Speaking of Delphi - they should just buy Embarcadero and make Delphi and CppBuilder available for small money. That way they might get more and better apps for their platform again.

If he had used Delphi, the app would have been a single self contained exe. No JVM updates to worry about.

Mir worked in 2014? Wayland took until 2025.

That has been Microsoft's gameplan for years. While Apple delivers, Microsoft promises it will deliver soon. And then it never happens.

How is Apple AI delivery going?

Especially everything that was shown at WWDC 2024?

Lol yeah... unfortunately we're not living in the times anymore when Steve Jobs announced the Intel build of Mac OS X and then mentioned that he did the whole presentation on Intel. Now it's "coming with macOS 27". And then "27.1". Maybe.

Yes, for a developer it's great.

But then you come across things like "movie not playing due to missing DRM support" and crap like that.

Normal users are probably better off with a Macbook.

But that has nothing to do with the language.

Absolutely, and it's a good language when used properly. This was more of a problem with the hype surrounding it.

That's what we've been doing for a long time. But that's not possible with today's China anymore. They are as innovative as the rest, if not more so.

and it costs 749 bucks....

You're right re commercial. If it's personal use, twenty bucks a month.

They should just buy Delphi from Embarcadero and make it available cheaply. And put Anders back in charge. Then maybe people would start writing proper native Win64 Software again...
