The ongoing discussion about the future of C++ is characterized by two closely connected themes: complexity and safety. Both concepts are frequently oversimplified in public discourse, often reduced solely to memory management. Yet safety encompasses far more: functional correctness, deterministic and high-performance execution, efficient use of resources, architectural stability, type…
Following up on my last week “My 13 Top New FireMonkey Features in RAD Studio 13”, this is a similar blog post focused on the VCL library. While there are no new brand components, there are very significant improvements to existing ones, opening up additional…

Why C++Builder 13 is more than just a version bump – and why we must begin to truly understand C++.
An article about C++Builder – and yet about much more
With the release of C++Builder 13 and support for…
This article explains how large and complex codebases increase cognitive load for developers, slowing productivity and raising error rates. It introduces model-driven engineering as a solution that uses high-level system models as the single source of truth. By automating…
Today Embarcadero released a second patch for RAD Studio, Delphi, and C++Builder 13 Florence.
The RAD Studio 13 October Patch provides quality improvements to the 13 release, focused on C++ tooling, some debugger, iOS 26 and reFind improvements, enhancements to the Windows…
