It seems to me from a strictly business standpoint, the more code RB
can get users to write in RB, the more said users will be tied to the
success of their product. I think they're starting to get close to a
speed parity with C with the addition of ptrs, the only thing holding
us back now is the compiler's lack of optimizations.
Erm, no actually. The syntax makes optimisations almost impossible.
Is it sensible to do this:
for i = 0 to n
c = p.LongValue(i*4)
next
or this:
for i = 0 to n
c = *p++
next
The first one needs multiplication, the second doesn't.
RB would need proper pointer types to get speed equal to C.
