This is a point of confusion for me...
I know that if I use the command-line Borland compiler (BCC) I can
create forms and other visual elements only if I include the UI
framework / tools of my choice. Most people stick to the default units
in the VCL, I suppose. You can include whichever libraries you want. I
was under the impression a "framework" was a set of libraries with a
standardized form and philosophy, built in a common language.
Basically, anything not in the core of whatever language I'm using with
Delphi Studio would be part of a "framework" is my understanding. MFC,
OWL, VCL, CLX (QT), and so forth are frameworks? Or are they merely
collections of interface widgets?
What separates REALbasic's language from its framework?
Also, is there a major difference between the way RB or even VB < 6
compiles versus the use of a C/C++ compiler? In theory, I suppose there
isn't, but I always wonder about the baggage carried by RB's compiler.

(BTW: Just to clarify -- Delphi Studio includes C/C++/C#/Obj-Pascal, so
it isn't any more accurate to say Delphi is Pascal than it is to say
Xcode is Objective-C. In Delphi, you can mix languages in the same
project. I think you can in Visual Studio, too?)
