- I am a C++ programmer (and reallly like the language), yet I think having properties
- would be great! I also use VB, which has a limited form of property construct, for
- developing front-ends for C++ DLLs. I am planning to get DELPHI. Another thing
- that would be cool is if the calling conventions for classes would be standardized
- so that one could use C++ classes (in a DLL, and without special C wrappers)
- from a DELPHI program. OLE attempts to do this, but is very slow, and horrifically
- complex.
