Michael Swindell writes: "... Native code remains the core foundation for desktop, client/server, and workstation application development. ISVs and Micro ISVs rely on native code to deliver high-performance packaged software, and the ubiquity of multicore architectures enables programmers with abilities in native languages like C++ and Delphi to drive application development in high-growth industries like healthcare, financial markets, and services and telecommunications. ..."

Lars,
ReplyDeleteInfomercial or not he makes good points. Native code will always perform better.

If you remember that after Deplhi 7, Borland produced a .NET version and now we are back to native applications. Says it all really.
ReplyDeleteThe browser apps give options which were not there 15 years ago, so I respect that I may need to develop a browser app for some situations and native code for others. I would determine which one to develop with in the same way I would choose a language to use for the project at hand.
There are 10s of 1000s of Delphi programmers out there and some of us are around from before Delphi 1. I am still using it and if they are concentrating on native code then that sends a shot across my bow.
In conclusion, horses for courses - but the default is native code!
