Borland Delphi
Well I found out this is actually a pretty cool development enviornment. Borland did a pretty good job. It is a shame that I never looked into it until now. The ability to package all required files inside your exe that are needed to execute the program and still have it compile to less than 300k sub 200K when UPXd is quite an amazing feat for a language and IDE that is as broad feature wise out of the box as it is. I used to want to write ASM for standalone EXE aplications but this might be a much better solution. Of course ASM still is performance, speed and compiled size (well assembled) crowned king no doubt about that.
