در بین نظراتی که خوندم نظر آقای A.Bouchez (سازنده mORMot) خیلی جالب بود:
Indeed: we could just guess… I suspect even the Idera managers did not make their own idea yet. :)
From my experiment, when companies are acquired, what can be merged is merged, to cut off costs.
For instance, Embarcadero HR, IT, accounting, or even marketing may disappear in the new structure.
The same about similar technologies: some close products may be merged or the less powerful may be abandoned in profit to an existing better solution.
But since Idera has no development tool like Delphi, I see three possibilities:
– They identify the power and potential of Delphi, and invest in it, as a new axis of profit for the company;
– They identify that dev tools is not their business, so they sold it to another company (I do not see why they would not make any profit by selling it, and I’m quite sure they would never Open Source Delphi, due to third-party licensing reasons);
– Anything else – we need a crystal ball here.
