Cross-platform development
Kylix is Borland's code name for a project that ports their highly acclaimed Delphi and C++ Builder to Linux. Perhaps the coolest part of Kylix is how close the syntax is to the Windows version of Delphi. At BorCon 2000 reps demonstrated Kylix to a crowd of drooling computer jocks. Right there, live, they created a Windows program using Delphi. Then they simply recompiled the same code in Kylix to produce virtually identical applications on Windows and Linux.
