Borland C++ For Linux

The article doesn't mention whether this will be C++ Builder for Linux, or 'just' a command line compiler. No matter what, this is a sweet thing. I wonder how it will compare to gcc? (I wonder if it will be able to compile the kernel? :-) ) If it's the whole C++ Builder shebang, I wonder if there will be an Open Edition? Borland's Community site has a blurb about this. There's no comments at the Borland community yet, but some interesting commentary might pop up there."

  1. More than once compiler... Good? Bad? by dcardamo · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'm not too sure if having another compiler would be a good idea. Just think of all the new compile problems we'd have just thinking about compatibility. Managing different gcc versions can be a pain in the butt as it is.

    Talk amongst yourselves...

      I don't think we'd hear Microsoft complaining :p

    (yeah, fuckers, qmail's the best mail server made for Linux, and it is pretty sweet, but there's no calendar, or contacts or anything elses that makes exchange sweet),

    You forgot the part about Exchange letting you schedule online meetings and use netmeeting to collaborate online seemlessly, share apps, videoconference, etc, all from the same place. How cool. Could you _ever_ do that in Linux? No fscking way.

    Are you disrespecting my PhD? Come to one of my classes and watch me write Win32 VXDs that make calls to WDM and see whether you still think that I was born in a cracker jack box, bitch.

    Right-o. Why is it that Microsoft always takes the heat for proprietary software when Linux is just as proprietary? It only compiles on a compiler written by tree-hugging hippies. Go figure.

    Let's look at it this way: C++ is one of the most godawful languages ever designed, so Ph.D or not, you're still the King of Filth.
