Hello Kim,
What you said caught my attention, I have been programing in TP for
quiet a while now and although I am not 100 % satisfied with it, it remains
my language of choice.
As I said in one of my previous postings, I *don't want* TP to become
a standard (in the ANSI sense). Standards are heavy and difficult to change.
You seems to consider the Borland approach as "Fast and dirty". Could
you please explain why you believe that TP is not the right approach ?
This is not a rethoretical question ! It seems as if you see something
in TP I don't and what best way to learn about a language we like than
to get someone's else opinion, especially if he dislike it !
Cheers,
--Naji.
