No. While it did had cross-platform support years ago, nowadays it is Windows-only, including targets.

"Delphi 13 Community Edition brings the IDE forward from version 12.1 to the Florence release. Users gain access to new Delphi language features, and refreshed Android 15 and iOS 18 support."

No, I'm talking about C++Builder specifically. They made it sub-par to Delphi.

It has always been sub-par to Delphi, e.g. VCL, FireMonkey and COM interop are all done in Delphi, probably they got tired to do OWL and TV twice in both languages previously.

Yet it still manages to be better than Visual C++, in the Visual part, if we exclude the short lived C++/CX.

I was only thinking about Delphi in regards to the cross-platform, maybe after they end up rebooting the whole compiler on top of clang it gets better.

Or who knows, as Embarcadero is today, maybe they won't bother to improve that, not many corps care about C++ Builder.
