Borland's ide: It happened!

~~~~~
1. It happened.
~~~~~
The message about Borland's sale of IDE is half a day earlier than that published on csdn. There will always be
People ask me about this message in MSN or mail. On the one hand, I am very optimistic, and on the other hand, I am very indifferent. Slave
Until now, I seem to have lost the amazing expression of Li Wei, and I always say:If it happens
Now.

I am relieved that it is related to Li Wei. When I first met Li Wei, I went to borcon 2003 to give a speech. Talk to Li Wei
Very speculative. Finally, I finally asked why Borland kept buying and throwing it away.
Technology. At that moment, Li Wei's face looked awkward, blank, and angry. Li Wei said that in order to promote technical investment and leadership
He even had a big fight with the Headquarters regarding the attention of the technology and R & D departments. Borland, however, is not a developer.
. Therefore, some efforts can only be (only.

Two years ago, Li Wei's face was still vivid. Since then, I have never discussed Borland's internal problems with Li Wei. He does not
I want to be an outsider.

Now we can talk about it. In his blog, Li Wei said,"Chuck was tired and Danny was tired. Many of us were tired.
Now", I know. Li Wei said,"We cannot determine the direction of Borland", I also understand.

2. Opportunities
~~~~~
So when I showed me the blog David. I that night, I replied, "I hope they are right. Sold,
Borland can survive. "I even said," If Ms may buy Delphi, it will be the most
"I even said," If Ms buys Delphi, I decided to write the second version of "Delphi source code analysis ".
. In addition, if Ms buys code and uses Delphi to write code, there will be a new way to live. Haha ~~ ".

Note that the word "active path" is used ". In other words, Borland has squeezed Delphi and Delphi users into the dead.
Now. I listed several events in my blog this year. Although I plan to write "Delphi source code analysis ",
But I cannot afford to write it. Now, even me and my book have seen hope.

It's not because of the results, but because there are new opportunities.

In the past, 5415 million friends had a great deal of trouble in delphibbs and offended n people. Later, someone asked me what I think about it and I said,"
Even a pot of paste is better than a pool of dead water.". This is still my opinion on how Borland sold ide today. Today
Tian saw him in his blog that"Finally, I saw "xin", "passion", and "Chao Qi 』". I thought
However. At least, Delphi and Borland's ide product lines face new opportunities.

Iii. Language
~~~~~
Many people asked me what I think about Delphi's future, because many people think that I am a supporter of Delphi. In fact, I also
He has always supported Delphi. In architecture design today, some sample code is still used to using Delphi.

However, on MSN, divey said to me, "I am a little worried about the future of Delphi ". My answer is as follows:
----------------
Do you have to worry about this? Language is just a tool.

I also like Delphi. Different methods may be used. If Delphi does not have a good buyer, or the future development is poor. I may
It will rewrite the kernel of Delphi 2006 so that it can run on Delphi 7. Or I may rewrite some valuable VCL,
Enable him to run on Delphi 7.

It doesn't matter. If it cannot be commercialized, it does not mean it will die. It is in your state. What do you think,
Yes.

I am still using Delphi 2006 to write code. I am not worried about its disappearance or extinction. Because these codes can be transplanted,
You can also give up. There is no eternal language, but an eternal thought. People who stick to the language will suffer from Delphi's storage.
In and out. -- However, I feel sorry for the status quo of Borland. Although Borland of the Delphi/ide product line does not exist,
A little strong. However, I am optimistic about the results of the entire incident.
----------------

Therefore, in my opinion, language is just a way to express programming ideas. If this method is not convenient enough, use another method. For example:
If he has the ability to change him, he will re-organize the language to repeat it. If you are too lazy to change it, and do not want to change it, just in
Why is it different from a prisoner in the Big Brother?

Iv. Buyers
~~~~~
In the past two days, he talked to his old friend Leon about Delphi's buyer problem. In fact, even though I say "it is best to buy Delphi in MS ",
However, it is just a word of the moment. After careful consideration, it is still a problem to sell Borland to anyone.

First, I thinkBorland ide product line cannot be put in the Open Source Field. First, Borland's resources are insufficient.
. Borland IDE is basically a commercial product. If it is thrown into the open source world, Borland is responsible for commercial maintenance.
. Therefore, Borland will buy IDE for a company that is acceptable to enterprise users and will not find trouble with Borland.

Next I thinkBorland's ide product line should be split to buyInstead of buying the entire product line from a company. Just like me
"Who is engaged in Java and. Net. Originally, only Borland would be so bt ". So
Borland can split the IDE into three parts: Sun, Linux, and windows. In this case, the opportunity to buy,
And the opportunity to buy a good price is much larger.

For Windows, I thinkMs has a 40% probability of purchasing Delphi.. First, the PASCAL/Delphi language is very powerful.
A large user group that supports Ms in both Win32 and. Net directions. In addition, the Delphi system and the. NET system are
It is not difficult for MS to transform it in a similar place. On the other hand, Ms promotes C # In the. NET era,
Such as C ++, Java, VB, and even JScript .. Net Language System built-in C #, J #, VB. NET and
JScript. NET is not just as simple as "displaying the integration capability of the architecture system. Of course, in this system
Delphi for. NET is also a favorite thing for ms. Finally, the role of Anders hejlsberg in MS and. Net also makes Delphi
The collection of MS is not so abrupt.

Don't talk about Ms. I compress Ms into M $ in all non-public documents. However, I also think that Ms's Commercial Drive
Capabilities are good, not bad, for Delphi. Borland lacks such capabilities, so I am talking to Leon about this question.
"Borland does not have enough power to develop the IDE product line, and IDE does not make money. -- Ms can take 4/5 years
To push. net, we can provide free express for developers. What else can Borland do? Is there any competition? Give up
It is wise.".

However, Leon expresses his different opinions. He thinks that Delphi still has a way to live in Borland. If he buys it, he will eventually die.
The loss of MS will lead to the worst death. Haha, there are indeed different ideas:
----------------
Leon: do we sell Delphi Borland or Borland?
Me: Borland is dedicated to providing ALM for enterprise applications, although this is a face-to-face effort. -- Maybe the CEO just wants to get one.
Run. However, the impact on the other side may also give Delphi more space for these products.
Me: I think Borland is like a heartless soul with no thoughts or directions. In this case, these ide products leave
It is a good thing for these dizzy management.

Leon
No longer cares.
Me: Yes. In fact, they don't care anymore.

Leon: will the buyer do well with Delphi? If Ms buys it, I will certainly not do it well. Others have bought and are capable of doing this.
Okay ???
Me: This ~~ Ms will be good if it is bought.
Me: MS will not give up a large number of plug-ins or Delphi language markets. He knows how to win the language, not the product.
Me: they may call Delphi D #. But it doesn't matter. Really, I am relieved that Ms actually runs this Delphi.

Leon: No way. It's useless for VB. Come on with a C #. What is Pascal?
Leon: Let's look at Java #. How many people use it?
Leon: the shrinking speed of the VB.net market is not expected by Microsoft.
I: Ms knows that it is impossible for one language to unify the world.
Me: But as you said, even if MS is used as Delphi, it may not survive. This is true.

Leon: But Pascal is definitely not a language that can survive.
Leon: MS, certainly unable to survive
Leon: no one else can survive.
Me: I don't worry about this ~~ Honestly. Although I prefer Ms to buy, I just think there is no better buyer.
At least MS has the ability (rather than the possibility) to do it well.

Leon: Delphi is dead!
Leon: He (MS) buy is to let him die
Leon: It's all dead, so I said Borland's decision has actually pronounced Delphi dead.
Me: What should I do. Then, tell me who bought it is not a dead man?
Me: what I think is: Put it in Borland's hand, it's a dead end; put it out, there is a chance to live.
Me: -- have you seen my MSN signature for a while?
Me: "survival or death is a problem ".
----------------

Like some people, Leon is pessimistic and desperate in terms of life or death. Like other people, I am optimistic.

5. Expectation

So, after I said the following to the left, I turned off MSN and went to bed:
----------------
The opposite. So, Fast Selling and Fast Selling. Once it is spent, the overall situation will surely be clear.
