RIM's attractiveness to developers

It is said that modern cellphones are not islands but need the support of thousands of developers to drive the adoption. Not sure, if that is something truly such a make or break.

RIM investors will be heartened to know that the BB10 platform supports all developers - C++, Java and HTML5 and a few lesser known ones.

There is one additional platform. BB10 supports Qt/ QML. Hundreds if not thousands of developers, disenfranchised by Nokia when it moved to Windows 8 have probably a new home. Not only that, but RIMM is also the brand most preferred by corporate executives, which means developers can opt for getting more money for their effort. I personally feel this bodes well for RIM. Time will tell.
