I have elevated this comment from David I in a previous post, to the status of a post in it’s own right, in order that it might elicit the suggestions from readers\/commenters that David seeks. I have adjusted the opening wording to make more sense in the context of a post, but give full credit to David I for kicking this off.<\/p>\n

I shall be responding myself shortly, but in the meantime, here’s the chance for others to contribute to an interim, ad-hoc “Delphi Survey” of sorts. \ud83d\ude42

David I thought it would be great to have a post with product feature suggestions for Marco to focus on. He suspected that we might see a few of the following (in no particular order):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Delphi ORM<\/li>\n
  2. Additional features for DataSnap: security, load balancing, fail over<\/li>\n
  3. Un-dockable form designer for VCL and FMX<\/li>\n
  4. Improved code optimization<\/li>\n
  5. Native control support for iOS\/Android\/etc<\/li>\n
  6. MVC for Web App Development<\/li>\n
  7. Dependency Injection Framework<\/li>\n
  8. BiDi: better support in VCL, add support in FMX<\/li>\n
  9. Accesssibility support in FMX<\/li>\n
  10. IDE options, packages migration when installing new version<\/li>\n
  11. Remove Package\/Component compiler version dependencies<\/li>\n
  12. Parallel \/ Concurrency support<\/li>\n
  13. Garbage Collection<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    On your marks, get set…. GO!<\/p>\n
