btw - OP was clearly "buried" in the Delphi messaging from the beginning,
but Delphi v1-v5 the language is referred to as the "Object Pascal
language used by Delphi" v6+ referred to as "Delphi, an Object Pascal
based language" - wasn't a product mgmt call or strategy- there was a
heated D vs OP community debate on it that I believe dev rel or some group
wanted settled. My recollection isn't clear on how the trigger was pulled
to start calling the language "Delphi language" instead of "Object
Pascal" - but it was hotly debated and was pretty split internally at
Borland.
Even C++Builder was originally to be named "Delphi C++" - until a new
"Builder will be the name of all products in Borland" policy. Fortunately
Delphi escaped being called "AppBuilder", but you can find reminents of
the name, blechh.
yes, "Builder" is tantamount to saying "I lack creativity and imagination.
I surrender to the droids.".
