I believe even in 80s most of these were fixed in various 3rd party vendor Pascal compilers.

Anyway, I've always found your particular products/business interesting. Could you please share some insights? Like who are your userbase (I believe you're in a very niche space, but I might be wrong), how strong are sales going on, etc...

We don't usually share information about sales, as that is confidential business data, but suffice to say we're pretty happy and are going strong for ~15 years, now.

Our users come from all ranges, both in terms of company size (from single-dev shops to big-name Fortune 500s) and target area (mobile, desktop, web, services, enterprise, you name it). Elements is a general purpose programming environment, and I believe there's something to find and like about it for just about every software developer.

For example, while we have a strong focus on sharing code across platforms, the product is nit just about that, a lot of developers single-platform devs still love Elements for other reasons, even if they only care about, say, .NET, or only about Cooca. The multi-platform support is just one of a list of many benefits any individual dev might be attracted to (or not care about).
