New Borland Development Studio

Posted by michael on from the galileo's-head-was-on-the-block dept.

mesozoic writes "News.com is running a scoop on Borland's up-and-coming development suite, code-named 'Galileo'. It'll be compatible with both .NET and Java, and is aimed at developers who don't want to be cornered into using Microsoft's entire suite of programs. I personally am very nostalgic for Borland's old DOS-based IDE, and I'll be watching for this in the future."

    When I first started playing with Linux I thought this was awesome. It let me develop in the old familiar Turbo Pascal 6/7 environment (which Borland also used for their Turbo C)...

    I believe it even has it's own debugger (or runs gdb in a subwindow)... All the functions keys are the same too...

    If you like those old IDEs, try this, you will never notice a difference.

    Current Borland tools are not ABI compatible with MS tools. Rumor has it that they plan to fix this in Galileo.

    No. You can use the IDE with the MSVC as the code generator, though, as well as other languages.
