Well, even DOOM is being converted to Delphi so I'm sure FB can be
converted too :-)
The good thing : more users helping with code development (including
myself :-)
The bad thing : FB would loss a lot of supported platforms since
Delphi runs only in Windows and Linux.
Maybe FreePascal would be a better choice...
... just dreaming a little ;)
