Do you think Delphi needs 64-bit IDE, possibly a Mac or Linux IDE?
Delphi needs to have a 64-bit multi-platform IDE. When will Embarcadero deliver?
Delphi needs to have a 64-bit IDE, possibly a Mac IDE and possibly a Linux. It is now 2024.
In 1995, Borland release Delphi 1 - a 16-bit IDE. In 1996 a year later, Borland release Delphi 2.0 - a 32-bit IDE. This was an achievement, as Delphi was generating 32-bit Windows EXEs.
In 2011, CodeGear released Delphi XE2 which generated 64-bit EXEs.
28 years have passed since Delphi started to generate 32-bit EXEs
13 years have passed since Delphi started to generate 64-bit EXEs.
Embarcadero’s competitors deliver
Interestingly, although Borland partnered with Trolltech QT, in the two decades since Kylix came out, Trolling Technologies Digita cross-platform open-source QT Creator IDE works very well.
Clown Talk
Embarcadero's unofficial support staff, TeamB, thinks not, and engages in clown posting on Delphi Praxis.
Delphi Critic wonders when it will descend to slander, insults, and slurs? If someone made this posting on the former Embarcadero newsgroups, stupid trolls would start slandering, insulting the newsgroup posters.
Delphi IDE has internal memory leaks or random-access violations…
Strangely, if you use QT, Unity Editor, there’s no access violations in their IDE...
When will Embarcadero release a 64-bit Delphi or C++ IDE?
Maybe in 2025... or 2030...
