One of their employees (Nico) is part of Core now, and one of the old core members(Karoly) started to work for them. Both mainly work on ARM optimization support, and the work flows into trunk direcly. (newer coremember) Jeppe also works on that, but on his own accord. Karoly works on m68k in his own time.

A large delegation (6+) of the FPC core team went to visit them (Virprinet company/Scamp/Bero/Nico) in May. Bero was still working on an own pascal compiler :-)

What's interesting to note is that they also seem to have gotten debugging integrated with the Delphi IDE. I could never justify the cost of Delphi given it's dire platform support, but with a ready to roll integration with the superior compiler? I think I'll be assessing the latest Delphi to see if I can work more quickly in it as apposed to Lazarus, I might be able to justify spending the money now.
Afaik the main problem of debugging is not the IDE, but GDB. Afaik they still need GDB too, which is a bit in a state on Windows. Probably they have less problems with that since they generally debug arm binaries, with the GDB running on *nix.
