    Confusing between IDE and Compilers

    Sun Studio Compilers (C, C++ and Fortran) are well and fine and reports of its death are greatly exaggerated.

    In fact, adoption of these Compilers has improved considerably by some metrics.

    I think this particular discussion is about IDEs. Sun Studio IDE is based on Netbeans CDP (aka, C/C++ Developers Pack). This pack is rolled into the "base platform" which makes it more language-neutral (ie. not just Java. Netbeans also supports JRuby/Ruby on Rails and dynamic scripting, etc).

    Dont mix up compilers with this IDE story.
