Borland C++BuilderX is a multiplatform IDE for Windows, Linux, and Solaris that provides a brand-new visual development environment. Press release here." According to the Infoworld piece, "While newer languages, such as Java and Microsoft's C#, garner more attention than C++, research firm IDC projected that C and C++ professionals will remain the largest group of developers through 2005."

    does anyone else find it VERY ODD that a C++ IDE is written in Java Swing?

    but seriously, a good, fast OS could be written in java. and all that's slow about it is the GUI - which could be solved if driver developers wrote drivers that sped up java GUIs as they do C++. (so it's not all being done by the CPU)

    try uninstalling your video drivers (or switch to VESA), and watch C++ "native" widgets struggle as swing does. you'll have a better inderstanding on what i mean.
