True Native Crossplatform Delphi Library (spoiler)

True Native Crossplatform Delphi Library (spoiler)

Hello gentlemen,

I'm glad to announce 3 news in Delphi world: 2 positive and one negative.

I had been working on development FireMonkey library for 5 years in Embarcadero. It was a usefull time for deep understanding how library should work. And after closing offices i have been started to work on creating new crossplatform really native library from scratch. It never uses firemonkey anymore. Library something similar to VCL, but uses modern approach in development. It uses only small part of rtl. Framework uses native components and native graphics of each os. There are few advantages, which will be available in final version:
1. Look and Feel. All components are native. It means they are using native implementation system components aka VCL. Now you don't need to worry, that your application works on android not so like a application, which was created in XCode or Android Studio.
2. UI response. All components of new library workds so fast, as a system application.
3. Good quality of drawing. Only native OS graphics, which provide a lot of possibility for drawing (gradient, text, primitive, effects) and guarantees that you drawing will be the same on different devices.
4. Design taking into account the specifics of mobile platforms. Mobile platforms differs from desktop platforms and provides new controls, which are special only for mobile design. It's a fact. Framework includes it (Status bars, mobile services, no desktop features and so on).
5. Supporting non visual components DB access components, REST and etc. which allow to create your buisness application
6. Simplification of Stylization. As you know styles in Fmx is a greate features with alot of possibilities. You can put TEdit into style of TPanel (but why?). For each of this posibility framework pays by performance and flexibility for creating you style. You cannot understand which controls you should use for create for ex style for TEdit. But in common you need just change only graphics (like a skins). Libary will support also styling, but it will not provide put any controls to each other for reducing complexity of style using and increasing performance.
7. Extensibility. In this time libraries have already have base for creating components. which are using os native controls or components, which are self drew themself.
8. Modularity. Framwork designed to reflect a decrease in the connectivity of the components and modules between them. You can be sure, that if you are create empty one form application it will not load web browsers, buttons and other controls like a FMX. It one of the way for reducing application size. On this moment application which is created by my framework takes in 3 time less memory space, then the same fmx application.

I will provide more information about details in development process. There is still a lot of work, but not a small part of the work is already done and left behind.

There are just a screenshot from my demo application of really native application with my library. It doesn't use any FMX.

P.S. The topic is very interesting, and will likely cause a lot of questions. I will try to answer whenever possible.
P.S.P.S. Soon there will be a resource where you can learn more about the project, and meet with a Road map and to learn about the progress of project development.

Its' a good news. Bad will be in a next post (It relates with Delphi - Android bridge)
