well, don't spread pain around... Indeed upgrading to the newest version
somehow is painful, but that's only due to the upgrades and changes to
the RTL, not to the "standard" itself, c'mon... A standard "ANSI" Pascal
applicatoin can be ported to Delphi with no problem at all, isn't this
true?
And jusr my 2 cents for it, the nice thing is that you can develop nice
apps with no runtime at all (ok, this is pretty good for me so...). I've
been into Delphi since version 3 and I've had to clean up my code only
once, all other applications went straight from .pas to .exe with a
mouse click.
I don't know any VB stuff at all - don't code in basic since the ZX
Spectrum times... ;-) - but maybe VB is closer to any newest MS stuff
than Delphi can be.
Give it a try, syntax is not that far (as Delphi anyway don't differ
that much from C nowadays...)
