    I see from your other posts you're probably a community edition user doing mobile development. I can tell you now as a fellow RAD Studio mobile developer that you should not purchase RAD Studio for mobile development unless you are prepared to pay the renewals each year.

     

    If you don't, when the next mandatory requirement for store listing comes from Apple/Google (and they seem to come every year) only the latest RAD Studio will have support for that requirement. Using your old version you'll be stranded and eventually unable to update your app in the store.

    Yes, I like RAD Studio's features but it seems too expensive for such a short life time.  :classic_sad:

    I heard that Delphi is Pascal language based.

     

    I am planning to develop cross-platform apps.  I come down to 2 options:

    1. RAD Studio 10 or 11 (depends on how poor I will be)
    2. Visual Studio 2022 (C++ based)

     

    My primary interest is to monitor huge amount (may be several hundred to thousand) of sensors over internet.

     

    1. Can you help me to choose between 1 and 2?
    2. Can we program or interact with hardware directly through Pascal language?
    3. Is it easier to interact hardware with Pascal than with C/C++, for example, handling MCU register, address content, etc?

     

     

    I am new to Pascal.  Hope to hear your opinions.  :classic_biggrin:

    Embarcadero produces patches for the most current version. If you own that version, you get the patch whether your subscription is current or not.

     

    Once the next full release happens though (roughly every 12-18 months) the prior release is extremely unlikely to ever get another patch of any sort.

     

    Life time sounds too short.  For such a complicated and expensive software, I expect at least 2 years full running.  :classic_huh:

    RADServer is a lot of promises, once using the product you find out you'd better choose another solution as a base for rest services.
    (we are still using it, but from week to week, less and less is used from the radserver itself), it's about the same as Delphi lot of commercial shit and shouting, but not really a usable product.

     

     

     

    Yes, if it is just a web server, I am not interested at all.  :classic_huh:
