and that's exactly what I do, and my argument why Xcode or equiv will always be necessary. The other point was the constant little GUI (and other) deficiencies that keep creeping in or lingering with each RB release that makes our lives very difficult and keeps RB from being used to build a truly hi-powered killer app like Photoshop, with or without external C/C++ support for the heavy lifting.
Maybe I'm way off BUT it would be nice IF REALbasic were more than capable enough to do this without needing C/C++.
I rarely write any assembler in C/C++ any more because it's just not necessary for 99.999% of the tasks I use C/C++ for. Compilers are pretty darned good and chunk out pretty decent code such that it works more than fast enough for the task without resorting to writing assembler.
For RB, C and C++ are the "assembler" equivalents. and it will be nice to get an RB compiler with enough optimizations, etc that C/C++ are mostly not needed in the same way.
