-
- I have read many postings comparing C++ to Delphi, but this seems like
- an unfair comparison.
-
- Delphi has so many useful classes that even with C++ and OWL or MFC,
- programming in Delphi is far easier and quicker.
-
- What I am considering is Zapp with C++. It has a screen painter (Zapp
- Factory), and a full-featured class library.
-
- To me, it looks like you can use Zapp and write your code in C++, or use
- Delphi and write in Pascal.
-
- Pascal is simpler, but C++ is more powerful/flexible.
-
- Is this a fair comparison?
