RE: Delphi vs bcb, 2p back :-)

[Sam Azer <azer@dsuper.net>]

It blows me away for speed - I've downloaded huge projects off the net and 
compiled them in seconds in Delphi - C++ can't do that because the language 
forces the compiler to do things differently (like having to evaluate every a 
header file line by line rather than just grabbing a DCU and copying into the 
symbol table.)
