EA Implementation Language
« on: September 07, 2007, 01:18:44 am »
Hi, I'm just curious: What is the programming language the enterprise architect is written with?

Does anybody know?

No. We had a few guesses but no concrete answer from Sparx. Looks like being confidential ;)

Wrong question Tom...

The REAL question is what modelling tool did they use to design it... ::)

Have they been able to reverse engineer EA into EA?

Just a thought...

My gut feel was either Delphi or Visual C++.

.NET wasn't on the cards when it was first developed (unless a really early beta)
EA supports Delphi

If you really want to know, it may be possible to inspect the header in the ea.exe.  A compiler might leave some sort of fingerprint in there.

It shows a lot of COM heritage, so I'd guess C++ or C, as the case might be.

Still, who knows, you could always do this with the Borland (by whatever name over time) tools as well.

Very likely, BCGControlBar C++/MFC library is used in the GUI part.

Hi Paolo,
of course, this is also an interesting discussion but I wouldn't want to ask such a highly philosophical question since this is a classical chicken and egg problem.  ;)

So, what we really should be asking is which tool was used to design the chicken...
