They’re going to reinvent HyperTalk and AppleScript?

I was thinking about Delphi myself.

Yeah, I think that JetBrains might be able to do some really cool stuff with Object Pascal. I don't know if they have the chops to take on cross-platform UI like what Lazarus did with LCL, but it would be awesome.

Delphi is still around, and I really don't see what cool stuf that would be.

Other than the expectation JetBrains would make it cheaper than Embarcadero.

Well they could do a better Delphi with Kotlin Native, still waiting for it actually happen, instead of relying on Android and JVM, or trying to compete with React Native on iOS.

Prove that they actually don't need Java, as many Kotlin advocates parrot all the time.
