Depends highly on the project type but if we're talking about a typical Delphi GUI app you don't need to be worry much if you depend on the RTL/VCL more than WINAPI itself.
I don't know about Emba.'s actual plans but what they refer to as cross-platform should be a proper port of runtime and VCL. They tried this before with Kylix but killed the project for reasons yet unknown to me (probably didn't raise much cash). So at least to have a taste of how things will work out in the future, I suggest you check out Kylix.
- mTh 17y agoEmbarcadero actual plans: - (theoretically) you can find on their site at embarcadero.com - but a better place to start is http://wings-of-wind.com http://wings-of-wind.com I do think that RTL is close if isn't already due of Kylix which you mentioned to cross-platform. The new solution will be very different compared with Kylix. How do you envisage it?
- utku_karatas2 17y agoThanks for the link. I don't know how they could succeed without a solution similar to Kylix. And I can't really envisage anything on the subject. Cross platform native apps is too good to be true :) (that is with third party support as abundant in Delphi, else FPC is actually there.)
