Software development industry analysis by Larry O'Brien, the former editor of Software Development and Computer Language
Wednesday, November 15, 2006

The new spinoff from Borland, CodeGear, is strongly hinting that they will produce at least one dynamic language:

CEO Ben Smith: "We’re also working on plans that can help developers take advantage of growing and emerging areas like web services, Ruby, Python and Ajax. "

David I: "We are not limited to just a few programming languages (Delphi, Delphi .NET, Java, C++, C#)....[CodeGear will be driven by languags that are ] compiled, managed, scripted, dynamic and more...What will be the next CodeGear programming language?"

CodeGear FAQ: "The emergence of web services and new development capabilities from Ruby to Python to Ajax provide an opportunity for even more substantial innovation."

Obvious interpretations: a stack for JavaScript programming and debugging (Ajax) and at least one of Turbo Ruby or Turbo Python.
