The last few months have been really a bit hectic, and I failed to find the time for my regular "notable Delphi blog posts" summary. I've also done very few blog posts in general. Here is one, with key entries only (or I'd be way too long).

Borland OWL to C++ Builder VCL by Al at*
https://community.embarcadero.com/bl...-c-builder-vcl. Having written one of the few published books on OWL in the early 90ies, I can only be surprise by the fact someone is keeping that fantastic library (so mush superior to MFC) alive...

http://blog.llvm.org/2018/03/clang-i...hrome-for.html. Very interesting to see the growing adoption of Clang and LLVM, the same direction Delphi and C++Builder have been heading.
