Delphi 6.0 60 day trial

Before I answer their Survey and pull up the download...

I would like to know about your opinion on delphi 6.

It's based on Pascal.
























'Nuff said. :D Pascal sucks.

Arien, don't try to make everyone conform to your opinions. not every hates all the stuff you do.

You like Pascal?

never played with it. but just from listening to you, I hate it already, so I might never get a chance to play with it. :)

Did not need to post that:D

pascel used ta be poplar. but the syntex in flippier than a bare bellied lizard.

VB's syntax is like a mix of Pascal and C++. Freaky.

and why not??????

every post he does it says "don't use that it sucks, use this..."

In the Visual Basic Forums, I thought it would be appropriate. :D :D

Pascal is good for teaching programming skills because it's so strict. However, that strictness means I wouldn't want to use it to write a real program.

I prefer C++ where you can have all sorts of fun casting random numbers to pointers and then passing them off to Windows :p

C++ is pretty strict, too.

Yes, but it's pointlessly simple to get past that.

I believe Pascal's variables aren't case sensitive...? Or at least function names aren't...

Really? Yikes.

Not sure if VB's variables are case-sensitive since the editor corrects them :rolleyes:

The editor does so much to "improve" your code:

VB Code:

' It'll do this:
 
Sub foo()
    Exit Sub
 
ErrorChecker:
    Exit Sub
End Sub
 
' Instead of this
Sub foo()
    Exit Sub
 
    ErrorChecker:
    Exit Sub
End Sub()

I like the IDE in the way it immediately identifies syntax errors, but it only colorizes the line after you go to the next line. :(
