Re: What this mean for Borland?

Captain,

Did someone ask if Visual Studio supports Object Oriented Pascal aka Delphi Language?
Why, i can only assume Microsoft suspects everyone already knows it does ;)

Despite the inevitable lame replies that I have some kind of vendetta or ax to grind, I'm going to have to call your bluff on this.

Technically, Chrome is not the "Delphi Language" though. It is a variant of Object Pascal. It is somewhat misleading to say that Visual Studio supports "Object Oriented Pascal aka Delphi Language", since 1) there is no support for either object pascal nor the Delphi language out of the box in VS, and

granted, then, the original poster was already wring with saying "Object Oriented Pascal aka Delphi Language", since obviously OP is not aka Delphi. That said, Object Pascal is available for Visual Studio, so my response was perfectly correct.

Delphi too is a proprietary variation of Object Pascal. So whether VS would support Chrome, Delphi or FooBarPascal with Objects 3.0, it would support Object Pascal. Since it does support ONE of them, it does support OP. Simple really.
