- I even recommend Delphi for large projects,
- since
- (1) Delphi is more stable (7 years old pascal still runs).
- (2) Delphi has real modulisation (called units)
- This speeds up compilation by a factor x10
- and already includes namespaces etcetera.
- (3) Delphi is more robust with typechecking and rangechecking.
- (4) Delphi supports properties, which help you to implement persistent
- objects and make it easier to create call-backs.
- (5) Delphi is more readable (no cryptic code like: (*a*(*x+4))?1:0) )
-
- I actually dont know any projects for which C++ is better. But then
- I think anything may be better than C++.... But that is another story.
