Delphi roadmap 2024

[FreeDelphiPascal 19]

Hi

Recently Marco Cantu something about a road map in his blog.

(There is a link to a video there. I haven't watch it yet.)

https://learndelphi.org/everything-you-need-to-know-about-future-delphi-development/

 

But I cannot find any official 2024 roadmap on Emba's website.

https://blogs.embarcadero.com/?s=roadmap

 

The old roadmap is from 2020 and the "latest news" it has is about Delphi 10.4 and a fictional 10.5.

So, there is an official roadmap document?

 

[UPDATE]

Ups. Disregard all that! The page does not have a date (shame on them, this is not how you build a "news" page), but the video caption shows Delphi 11. So, it cannot be new.

But if you have a link to a roadmap it would be cool to share it. The 2020 roadmap is definitively "expired".

IIRC, he said that internally there is a road map. They use to have private talks to selected users about their needs, which may influence their road map. He also mentioned that there is no official road map due to legal concerns.

If it is not bullsh*t (obviously a road map cannot be legal binding especially when they have a "safe harbor" section), then it is sad. Very sad.

They stopped publishing roadmaps publicly, there hasn't been a new roadmap shown for several years now.

See: https://www.embarcadero.com/support

Premium Update Subscription support includes "Regular online meetings with the product team and individual company roadmap sessions"

 

I am curious if anyone has purchased Premium Update Subscription and has received roadmap sessions...

 

They have said in the past that if you are an active subscriber that you can privately ask about roadmap issues (nad not necessarily requiring Premium support.)

They did not mentioned either on the 12.2 presetntation that the premium is required, only that you have to explicitly request it and of course NDA.

Who do they feel the need to keep the details secret from? All 27 other commercial Pascal IDE vendors?

From users, so that they cannot complain about unfulfilled targets.

I also don't understand why they create this kind of darkness... unless it is for the reasons like those above...

 

I see Emba like a dark cathedral, with many corners, and people are walking in there quietly and with candles in their hands.

It is all full of candle smoke.
From time to time somebody is quietly coughing and the others are looking bad at him.

The windows are covered with black drapes.
Outside in the sun, the children are playing. They are happy now, but the know at one time, night will come and maybe the people in the cathedral will save them.

C# is upon us..

C# is upon us....

C# is upon us.......

It could be that they simply do not want to make future choices public because they have not planned them as resources yet. For example, rebuilding a 64-bit IDE is expensive, as is porting it to ARM. These are just hypothetical examples and have no connection with Embarcadero.

 

There are no mysteries, we just have to wait for them to publicly inform us about future plans.

 

Bye

In the research area for years there was to replace the IDE and / or make it 64 bit. It is not a secret that they are evaluating the possibilities.

hope we get build in Nullable types soon.
