Excelent post, Daniel,


If I may add, without ever seeing one line of Bold source, I believe 
that the fact Delphi Win32 now has reflection makes it possible for an 
eventual further development of Bold to be much more powerful and fast.


Since Embarcadero now has the new DataSnap and reflection, and, as we 
are told, is assigning more resources to Delphi development than ever 
before, I believe the inclusion of an ORM (be it branded as Bold, ECO or 
any other name) is a somewhat obvious next step, lowering the rdbms/oop 
barrier.


Best Regards,
