[DUG] Turbo Delphi

[Ross Levis]

myOffice Email MessageThe FastCode project (http://www.fastcodeproject.org) have many VCL replacement routines utilizing many different CPU extensions for speed.  A routine detects what extensions are available on the PC at initialization time and uses the best routine.

  64-bit - you clearly don't read the Delphi product managers Blog - see here: http://blogs.borland.com/nickhodges/archive/2006/08/04/26445.aspx
  SSE2 - well, there is SSE, SSE2, and SSE3 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE2#Notable_CPUs_not_supporting_SSE2 and given it is focused at games, I understand why it isn't a priority.
  MMX - I'm surprised by this

  Linux - well, given Kylix failed to sell, cost Borland a huge amount amount of money and set Delphi back by 18 months, you can understand why they are loathe to go back there. You'll probably see some Mono tho, but thats just a guess.

  From what I understand, the difference is just cut the price which is good of course. But they should listen to what developer really want, i.e. 64bit cpu, mmx, sse2 code generation optimize, Linux etc.

    Ouch! .. looks like they are in need of a good web designer. 

     

    First impression is that they kind of make Delphi start to look and sound like a cheap toy programming language for hobbyists ;-/
