Comment Simplicity vs Brevity (Score 4, Informative) 603

I used to code on Delphi, based on Pascal, but also did some C++. The main difference I found was that if I made an error in Delphi the compiler found it and the big fix cycle was a few seconds. In C++ the compiler would find a way to interpret my code (as something I hadn't intended) and I would only find the error in unit test, with a big fix cycle of minutes. The benefit of C++ was that you could do ten things in one line. So Delphi was simpler and more verbose, C++ was briefer. But coding in Delphi was an order of magnitude faster.
