Re: Delphi in Danger
In recent years Lazarus gets better and better while Delphis innovations
progress has stopped. The advantages of Lazarus are the cross platform strategy, the fast installer, the language enhancements and last not least the very fast bug fixing within days. Codegear is very small and has lost so much time with "New Microsoft Technology" efforts: MSI based installer, MS doc explorer... Technologies that don't work very well and constrain the RAD idea. I think it would be very hard for Codegear to catch up the "cross" thing. Codegear must start now! Giving out clear mile stones and technical details to the community. The cross train is comming. I guess it takes at least 3 years to get a production grade toolset. |

Re: Delphi in Danger
For career reasons, I am moving over to the Java camp. I just got the
NetBeans IDE and J2EE SDK installed on my Vista laptop. They say it is (J2EE) an enterprise class application and web services platform. I have to agree with them. It looks so promising a technology that I (always a Delphi fan) took time out to write this post. Sun open sourced Java recently (www.regdeveloper.co.uk/ 2006/11/13/sun_opensources_java/) . it is not much longer before the tidal wave of innovation starts breaking through the barriers of software development from the open source developer community. We will see a barrage of addons, plugins and extensions to the language being published by programmers everywhere. But the important thing is what's going to happen next. One needs little convincing that the platform is going to evolve into something huge. History speaks for itself.. from the humble beginnings of Java to what it is now - truly Wow! |

Re: Delphi in Danger
Dear XXXX@XXXXX.COM,
Is this your first visit to the Delphi newsgroups? I don't see much else. And did you just drop in to promote a program you favor or have an interest in? Why would you come to this group of people who share only one thing in common - an interest in Delphi - to bash Delphi. Nevermind, don't even answer. Just go to Lazarus. -- Patrick Moloney |

Re: Delphi in DangerQuoteI am interested in a strong Delphi. My business is based on it. But I see Delphi to grow much bigger. But the more options become available for Object Pascal / VCL / RTL etc. the better for us who use it. I don't think Delphi will loose its edge on Windows, so for me it is win-win if alternatives pop up. -- best regards Thomas Schulz :: A1 Sitemap Generator www.micro-sys.dk/products/sitemap-generator/ |
