- vram22 9y agoI had seen the trend, via tech news, from some years ago, of Google hiring many top CS people. They might even have the largest number of such people of any company in the world, maybe except for a few other possible toppers like IBM or Microsoft? Just guessing here, based on some anecdata. And while I'm guessing, let me add a bit of imagining :) I used to, and still wish, that Google or a company like it would come out with a RAD GUI app creation tool like Delphi (of course better is fine too) and make it cheap or free to use to develop GUI apps with (and then keep supporting and developing it, and not make a mess of it like Borland/Inprise/CodeGear did - at least their management did or seems to have done, based on news read over the years). They definitely have the brainpower / bandwidth for doing such a product. But instead they are web-and-mobile-only (or mostly, AFAIK), unfortunately.
- vram22 9y ago>like Borland/Inprise/CodeGear did By somewhat frequent changes of direction, I mean, at least some of them, particularly during the Inprise years. Like changing focus from dev tools vendor to ALM vendor.
