SDTimes故事：C++ Builder X: 复仇出击 (English)(1)
C++ Builder X: Back ‘With a Vengeance‘
Java, pluggable compilers aid Borland’s assault on market
By Alan Zeichick
October 1, 2003 — Forget humdrum version numbers: The sUCcessor to Borland Software Corp.’s C++ Builder 6.0 integrated development environment goes by the name “X,” as in C++ Builder X. That’s a letter X, pronounced “ex,” as opposed to the Roman numeral X used in Mac OS X, pronounced “ten.”
Got that?
But there’s more to the new IDE than the letter; after years of neglect of the language by Borland in favor of C# and Java, C++ Builder X was rewritten from the ground up, according to J.P. LeBlanc, vice president and general manager of Borland’s C++ solutions group.
“We’re going back into the C++ market with a vengeance,” he claimed, “and we’re going after the entire market. Over the years our product was focused on Windows developers building GUI solutions; this product is taking a step back, and is aiming at the entire C++ market.”
