Yes and it sucked, and those companies who relied on that largely got conned into it and then saw their tooling slowly decay and their application becomes legacy garbage.
Its not just that OS tooling is "free", it's also better and works for way longer. If you relied on proprietary Delphi-compatible tooling, well... you fucked up!
- pjmlp 1y agoYou mean like the tooling for iOS, Nintendo, PlayStation, XBox, Windows, CUDA?
- const_cast 1y agoUm... yes? If you built your app around COM+, you're fucked. I would know, I worked on an application like that. Perpetually stuck in decades long gone. Or NextSTEP. Or DX 9. Or whatever the fuck. That shit sucked when it came out and it's only gotten worse. The cherry on top is the companies that promised they're the bees knees actually know that, which is why they left them to die. And, unfortunately, your applications along with them.
