How is Borland C++ Builder 6.0?

RZetlin · September 27th, 2002

Since M$ has phased out VC++ 6.0, I am left with Borland C++ Builder 6.0 as an option.

Has anybody used Borland C++ Builder?

How is C++ Builder?

Is C++ Builder good as Visual C++ 6.0?

Visual C++ 6.0 is better becasue it is from mircosoft but theay are both the same i think

Heh... nothing in the history of the world has EVER been better because it's from Micro$$$oft

Anyway, I haven't tried BCB6 but if it's like BCB5 (which I have, and judging by what I've seen of 6, it is), it's a cool development environment, allowing you to do more RAD development with C++ than VC6 allows (as in you can place controls on a form and assign events to them which you code around -- kind of like VB, but with a real language

). I like it lots for quick GUI C++ app development.

i don't see the point of that m$ statement above either...anyway, i've tried BCB6 myself, and it's great, even though i don't like c++ as much as c. better than pascal, anyway ^^

Heh, Pascal drives me nuts. First structured language I learned and I hated it. Thank goodness for C/C++

Althought I currently do more programming in C or Java (which also has a C-like syntax), I miss the good old time of pascal programming. Compared to pascal, C is like a bad joke. Like a macro assembler which has been extended until it looked somehow like a real programming language. Well, some people who never learned typewritting might prefer "{}" to "begin end" and in terms of efficiency, "= ==" might save a few keystrokes compared to ":= ="; but my experience says, if a program is successfull (that means: used by a lot of people for a long time), you read the code 10 times more often that you write it. An ugly language like C or C++, which depends a lot on the comments to be readable, is a big disadvantage compared to a beautiful language like Pascal.

Shows how different people think different things are beautiful... I think Pascal is ugly because of the things you mentioned, and C/C++ are beautiful for the things you mentioned.

To each his or her own.

I prefer C and C++, but the best one is a php because it is updateable but it is only for web programming
