A glimpse of the future?

For those of you who don't get your FS news from the "alphas" Slack group, you may be interested to see this...
Cavonix - Rapid Application Development
Yes, the screenshot appears to show one of the FlowStone alphas (e.g. there are two CPU meters). Yes, the Cavonix "team" includes Malcolm "Malc" Barbour and Carl Owen - developers/directors of DSPr. Cavonix was registered at Companies House (UK register of businesses) in January 2020. The parent company, AIM Technologies, shares the "non-DSPr" team-member and is a few years old, but has only ever filed "dormant" company accounts. Neither company reports significant financial capital.
MyCo is as surprised by this as anyone else - he was the first to spot it, in fact (the Cavonix website even implies that FS/SM was all Malc's own work!)
That's as much as anyone knows at the moment, but it looks astonishingly similar to the situation when SM/OutSim became FS/DSPr. Some secrecy surrounding the launch of a new company is to be expected, of course; but, given the current state of affairs with the forum (we're still unable to moderate anything) and MyCo's horror at the exploitation of his work, please excuse me if I have a rather nasty sense of deja-vu.
