As a C++ Builder developer, I should admit I feel a bit troubled, with the future of my code and the future of the companies I work with (All of them use C++ Builder and VCL). How much of it is true? If this is true, what exactly the Borland folks are thinking? If they drop the VCL support, which was the only reason all the people I know ware using C++ Builder over VC++, do they think anybody will buy any other product from them? How we can tell any company to standardize on a product that no mater how good it is ( and I think C++ Builder is great ), when the company developing the product tosses it out? What is going to happen with the trust in Borland? Any input?

OK, let's calmly (HA!) discuss what we know (or think we know) from: a. the open letter b. tomahawk - the beta (or gamma) of the next BCB release. A new framework is being developed. It's not in tomahawk and won't be ready for the next release - but a public beta preview will be in the next release. A new 100% ANSI/ISO C++ and C99 compliant compiler is on its way - a public beta preview of this will also be in the next BCB. Tomahawk supports Windows XP, Windows 2000, RedHat Enterprise Linux 2.1 Solaris 8 (Sparc), any Symbian platform SDK, and Nokia Series 60 and 80 SDKs. Tomahawk supports a bunch of C++ compilers, including MS and gcc. There has to be VCL and CLX support - otherwise BCB is useless. Sounds good to me. I just hope the frameworks is open sourced to some extent.
