@HeartWare Oh no! It's the end of the world as we know it... What can we do?

 

In other words:

If nothing else is wrong with that site, they did a decent job.

Rad Studio is BOTH Delphi and C++, meaning either IDE is available.  It is not it's own language or IDE.

Persistent licenses are the only good model for development tools, nobody will start developing anything (not even as a hobby) in a tool they might not be able to pay at some point and can lose access (even with stepping in and out, as vendor can always change the pricing model).

@Dalija Prasnikar Can you explain that to all vibe coders, no code (anti)coders and users of SaaS to create a (web) mobile app or website by drag & drop depending on a lifetime monthly paiement until the hosting company disappear or decide to stop the offer ? 

 

I completely agree with you: the only viable model (for a publisher and its customers) is a perpetual license with optional updates. Unfortunately, the market is full of people who only see the monthly cost and not the lifelong dependency.

I'm human and even I don't understand the question you asked it. You can't write code that targets just RAD Studio itself, because it is not a separate compiler of its own. It uses either the Delphi compiler or the C++Builder compiler. RAD Studio simply bundles them together under one IDE. That's also why you can't have Delphi(Standalone) + RADStudio or C++Builder(Standalone) + RADStudio installed together. The standalone versions are just slimmed down versions of RAD Studio. One IDE, multiple personalities.
