Borland's C++ compiler was _fast_. And I mean eye wateringly fast on crappy pre-AMD64 hardware. I wonder if it supports modern C++ today and is still faster than other compilers. (If I am not mistaken this new edition is a offshoot of that?)
(Yeah I am not downloading the "Community" edition if I have to provide my name address and phone number. Really if your product needs mindshare and you offer community edition the least you can do is make it easily downloadable.)

- blinkingled 3y agoI keep forgetting my spam email address/passwords lol I have a Google voice number for when I need to use it on forms but I have seen some websites don't accept it - there's ways to determine that it's VOIP it seems.
- ndiddy 3y agoI've downloaded one of their past community editions, their sales team will call and email you. They back off when you tell them you're not evaluating the product for your work, but it's still kind of annoying.
- kwanbix 3y agoSo you give them your real email, and not a for-all-the-registration-crap email? And you also give them your real phone number?
- blinkingled 3y agoYeah I figured as much
- notreallymy 3y agoNot only that. He knew the project name I created!
- rob74 3y agoFast for a C++ compiler... but still worlds away from the Delphi compiler!
- yazzku 3y agoThis kind of email+phone registration was common in the 90s and earlier. Oh, wait, it's 2023.
- pjmlp 3y agoC++17, using their clang fork.
- qwerty456127 3y agoIt took Microsoft some generations to stoppe requiring you to sign-in to use community edition after the trial period ends. Perhaps Borland will fix this in some years as well.
- CamperBob2 3y agoFar as I can tell, it still does. Nothing more annoying when chasing a bug than being forced to look up a password I haven't used for several months in order to use the debugger.
- qwerty456127 3y agoVisual Studio 2022 Community Edition apparently doesn't stop working even as you keep abstaining from signing in. It still asks you to every now and then but you don't really have to agree anymore. You had to reset the trial period (this is easy, it's there on StackOverflow and GitHub) every month with previous versions but with 2022 you don't.
- zorgmonkey 3y agoI've never used it, but if memory serves they are, like many other companies, using a fork clang. So I expect it will be about as fast if not slower then clang.
