I currently work with a licensed C++ Builder, which uses Delphi libraries.
Because of lackluster examples of C++ code, I have to look through Delphi code several times a day on the internet and when I'm debugging.
- rob74 5y agoI guess when you use RAD Studio, it's probably better to go "all in" and use the Delphi language too. I tried C++ Builder once while I was working with Delphi, hoping it will be faster than Visual C++. Little did I know that the slow compile times are "baked in" into C/C++ family languages in ways that are hard to get around, so I was disappointed and went right back to Delphi. The Delphi language is (conceptually, not syntactically) not that different from other classical OO languages like C++ or Java, although it (thankfully in my opinion) doesn't have as many bells and whistles. But of course if you have lots of legacy code in C++ Builder, switching is probably not an option...
- shimonabi 5y agoI don't really work with any legacy code, because I'm a new hire and build bespoke applications for customers as a one-man-team. The company I work for has been using Borland since mid-90s, but now I wonder how I should break it to the company that I want to switch to Java.
- pjmlp 5y agoYou might miss the Delphi's AOT compilation though. There are ways to get it in Java, but other than Graal, they cost just as much.
