QuoteI'm starting to see rumors that Borland just did a round of layoffs... recent months. Word is they've decided to stop building compilers themselves, and will soon be reduced to just making IDEs for other companies' toolsets -- the end of a long, slow death for Delphi and C++ Builder, the successors to the once ubiquitous Turbo Pascal and Turbo C. When: Dec 20 2003 11:43AM" Now, I am not a Borland apologist by any stretch of the imagination, but even *I* have to take issue with the above rumor. If Borland is stopping development on compilers and focusing instead on IDEs, why all the work and last minute development on Delphi for .NET? How would Delphi even be able to continue if they stopped their compiler development? It just doesn't mesh with the facts to date, and it definitely doesn't mesh with D4DN being released (read: shipped) this past week. Will |

QuoteFine -- I am willing to concede that C#Builder may have delayed QuoteAnd I think it is silly to argue that the revenue have been done before Delphi (nor the opposite). Ultimately the delay might not has been that significant (2, 3, 4 or 5 months really don't change life on Earth) and having used a less important product to test Galileo IDE (or whatever the name of the day is <G>) is probabily of *big* benefit for Delphi 8 (which has to be less buggy that C#B and shine as much as possible) but still, the sensation it gave could have hurt Delphi. Anyhow, I am not strong on either position, so I am fine with C#B before Delphi (and Delphi 8 slowed down a bit): anything after early 2003 is too-late anyways IMO. Kylix was the biggest waste of time IMO and that is what caused the most delays in the Delphi product line. |
