Mike Pence, a former Delphi developer now active with Ruby, comments on Delphi for PHP wondering if there will be a VCL for Ruby. The post is articulate and interesting. Micheal Swindell of CodeGear comments in the blog that they are considering it (see the previous blog entry). Mike underlines the comment in a new post pointing out that CodeGear see Ruby on Rails in its future (well, he says Borland but means CodeGear).

There is also a related thread in the delphi.non-tech group. My impression is that the web remains I very diverse environment. If I had time I'd also have a good look at Flex, OpenLaszlo, and Morfik.... but I never seem to have enough time!
