They did it for a while earlier too, circa 2006 with Turbo Delphi Explorer for Win 32 and .NET - two versions. Used both some. E.g.: https://jugad2.blogspot.com/2010/08/digital-clock-v10-in-3-l... Link for clock i

IIRC from VB 5 you could compile to a single EXE which I think did not need the runtime DLL?

Used that from year 1, too, for some years.

I guess that should be 1995. Same year as Java 1, FWIW.

Yes, that is why when Delphi 1 (or 2?) was announced, it was billed as the VB killer. That never happened, I guess, though it did become somewhat successful. I used both VB and Delphi some, in work and personal projects. Preferred Delphi by

What is your point? Maybe you need to make it more clear. Note:I am neither pro nor con Google, although I have both praised them and critized them in the past, for different things.

Diversity does not have to be a static or micro thing, along any dimension. E.g. temporal or spatial. If you look on a larger scale, there was/is species diversity across centuries/aeons (evolution, Ice Ages, ...) and across hund

Are you pro or con them? Seedy techniques are never fair, just seedy.

Interesting. Thanks for the detailed answer.

By 1980's and 1990's, are you referring to the Japanese 5th Generation project?

Are all those mumbo-jumbo-sounding security certification acronyms part of those layers? :) ICSSP? and such.

Mainframe programs used to be loaded from paper tape into memory and then run, so I've read. Maybe same for minicomputers.

Not necessarily. Tar was invented way back, in early Unix days. I know it would have been updated sometimes, in GNU tar and other Unix versions, but they may not have anticipated the massive growth in tape capacities and speeds. Using dd wi

I have tried PyInstaller some, on Windows, for both CLI and GUI (wxPython) apps, and what I tried worked fine, including single-file EXEs.

Interesting, didn't know that. What shape are they, then? Round? Or other?

I found BCPL quite cool too, except for the verbosity, which, like Pascal, I did not much feel at the time. I read the whole (slim) book about it, by Martin Richards, its creator, and enjoyed it. Good amount of low-level system programming
653.
by vram22 6y ago
Yes, I get you now. Agree about the verbosity issue, although, interestingly, it did not bother me at all in Pascal, which I learned as my 2nd language or so, before C. Noticed it even in the syntax of BCPL (C's grandpa), and, IIRC, B

I don't know Lisp well, but I remember PG saying in one of his books or essays, that Lisp is a language in which you can compile and run at read time, and the other two possibilities, too.

Yes, same thing noticed here. Incoherent sentences above, in your parent's comment.

It is the frameworks that give more rigidity and boilerplate, not so much those languages themselves (although Java does have more boilerplate than Ruby). You have a lot of freedom when you program in plain Java and Ruby vs. using framewor

May be obvious to some, but the braces can be replaced by BEGIN and END keywords by multiple methods, including careful editor search and replace, or use of a preprocessor before compiling (may not handle tokens in strings or comments), or
