Mmmm. Not using the Delphi IDE?

by Flytrap May 13, 2007 10:39 PM PDT

That is interesting, after recently rolling out Delphi for PHP on the Delphi IDE, CodeGear is rolling out Ruby via the Eclipse IDE...

Could this be the beginning of the end of the Delphi IDE? Could we one day be seeing CodeGear Object Pascal on Eclipse?

Just a thought?

My Guess....

They just delivered Delphi for PHP which has a pretty decent component framework backing up the IDE. Having something like that for Ruby may bulk up their IDE offerings in a way that keeps their products relevant in light of competition from the likes of Eclipse and others.; Like this

JBuilder

Different than Delphi
by mswindell May 16, 2007 12:18 PM PDT: Delphi for PHP is a RAD tool and Delphi's IDE is geared toward RAD - The Ruby IDE is more of an Visual Agile IDE (vs RAD) for dev teams, more similar to JBuilder which is also based on Eclipse. Also there is a requirement for Ruby on Rails that it run on Mac and Linux - the Delphi IDE runs exclusively on Windows.; Like this
