No need to assume that Carles is always trying to pull one over your eyes...

A couple of years ago, if you'd been shown a VB replacement showing that sort of progress you'd have been very impressed indeed. Take it for what it is, a demonstration of some current capability and a taste of what might yet be coming.

No need to become a fanboy for one solution over another, I am simply very content that we seem to have progress and the possibility of more than one future solution. Competition is capitalism at its best, there are a few capitalists here that should be happy. When you've spoken to Carles personally you'll get the opinion that he is trustworthy, knows his direction, is familiar with the technology and is passionate about delivering it too.
