C++ Builder compiles C++, thus it is C++.

I will never understand why clang and GCC extensions are considered part of C or C++, while other compilers aren't.

Refactoring exists for 20 years in Visual Studio with plugins like Visual Assist.

The tools I mentioned as ahead of their time allowed for a Lisp Machines or Smalltalk like experience for C++, respectively.

By your definition.

Didn't say so.

That one is new for me. Didn't know it. Would love to have it not locked to a single proprietary non multi-platform IDE.

And they didn't succeed, become popular and were mostly completely unreachable to the sporadic hobbyist.

Nice! Thanks!


My definition is that being commercial products is completely irrelevant to the fact that the toolings did exist.
