 THE BORLAND INTERVIEW

bitwise speaks to David Intersimone....

 

The programming world has been going through a time of enormous change in recent years. New languages and programming platforms such as C# and .NET have emerged. Borland's Pascal product, Delphi, has been challenged by a rival product, Chrome, whose architect has, in an exclusive interview with bitwise, accused Borland of failing to innovate. Meanwhile, Delphi has gained a .NET version of its VCL component library to enable existing users to migrate easily from Win32, while Microsoft has provided its Visual Basic programmers with no comparable migration path. And what about Java and C++? Where are these languages going....? When bitwise editor, Huw Collingbourne, met Borland's Vice President of Developer Relations, David Intersimone, in London recently, they had a lot to talk about. Watch the videos for some insights into Borland's view of future programming developments....
