- MacApp people,
-
- I am hesitant to assume that MacApp's switch from Pascal to C++ will mean that
- MacApp 3.0 alpha or beta will be more buggy than a comparable MacApp 3.0 in
- Pascal.
-
- There are features in C++ comparable to most of Object Pascal's features.
- Therefore, I think the port was probably more tedious than anything else. I
- would guess that 90 - 95% of the bugs will be related to the new features
- added, not the port to C++. Perhaps Apple switched to C++ because they feel
- they could develop a less buggy MacApp 3.0 in C++ than Object Pascal.
-
- I am also hesitant to try to persuade Apple to change their product plans based
- on pure speculation. Let's wait and see what MacApp 3.0 looks like before we
- complain about MacApp 3.0 bugs, source readability, or documentation.
-
- Willing to taste the soup before passing judgement,
-
