VB was "something less". Nowhere near as fast, amongst other things, as Delphi.
At one time, about 10 years ago, the fastest compiler out there I think.
OIC! Right, sorry. I think your wording was a bit ambiguous, though.
I think someone else has already said all I know - that, IIRC, you
could write extensions for VB in Delphi, whereas you could not in VB
itself. Yes, I think Delphi is a full-blown, proper, compiled language
and in principle you could write anything in it. I vaguely recall
maybe hearing about compiler projects and even OS projects attempted
in it.

Already
straying offtopic, a book I own states that
Delphi could be used to write Visual
Basic, but not the
other way around.
Neither way, AFAIK. Delphi=updated Borland Object Pascal,
not a BASIC.
