- shakna 10y agoGrab a copy of Borland's IDE [0] while you're at it. Experience what was normal and good all those years ago, and marvel at how little distance we've come. [0] https://winworldpc.com/product/borland-c-builder/6x https://winworldpc.com/product/borland-c-builder/6x
- RubenSandwich 10y agoBorland's IDE has a huge nostalgia factor for me, it was the first IDE that made it so I didn't have to think about linking and the rest of the toolchain, I could just hit 'Build'. But while most of our tooling for Software Engineering is pretty archaic. I think there is a tooling revolution going on now, especially with new languages: autoformatters, graduation typing, memory ownership checkers, etc. I feel like as an industry we are slowly starting to take tooling seriously.
- zwieback 10y agoThat brings back memories - I started my programming career in 1992 and Borland was one of the compilers we used back then, Zortech C++ being the other one.
- alexott 10y agoHah. Borland 3.1.Don't remember TP 3.5?
- pjmlp 10y agoI remember 3.0, 5.5, 6.0, 7.0 for MS-DOS and 1.5 for Windows, those are the ones I used, before switching full time to C++ as my next love in programming languages. :)
