Criticism
Some people would like to port their Win32 Delphi code to Prism as is. This is not possible because while Prism looks like Delphi there are enough changes to make it incompatible for a simple recompile. While the name appears to give it the appearance of another version of Delphi that is not completely true.
On top of the language differences the Visual Component Library framework is not available in Delphi Prism. This makes porting even more difficult because classic Delphi code relies heavily on the VCL.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art—and, by analogy, our own experience—more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
