Does anyone have any views on Delphi ? VB comes in for some stick , as does Java , but no one seems to mention Delphi. Am I missing something ? Ain't nobody ever told you : There ain't no sanity clause .Groucho Marks
Delphi is donkey crap. :-D Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com
What is "scratch" and why can everything be made from it?

My Dad played with Delphi for a while and was good enough to write some small apps in it. Apparently, a lot of the language features of C# were in the earliest versions of Delphi. I would never use it though. But only because I think Borland sucks... David Stone dstone@newcenturytitle.com

I used some old versions of Delphi, but something may have changed, like the SDI design, since I don’t use it anymore. [IMHO] I never got used to that SDI style, though the Intellisense is a bit smarter I found too a bit cumbersome doing COM programming in it. More important than all, I use programming languages as a tool. Wherever I need a fast developed, and easy to do dumb database client, I use C# WinForms or ASP.NET (used to be VB and ASP). Wherever I need a more consistent approach, I use C++. Delphi is between the two worlds and I never found a real use for it. The Pascal language itself is not an issue, because I used it a lot in my CS degree (hey, it was 1989, C and Pascal were the hype!) [/IMHO] Concussus surgo. When struck I rise.

There's a reason for that. "One of the people behind .net, and specially the key language C#, is Anders Heijlsberg who had quite an impressive career in the IT industry before working on .net. Anders used to work for Borland where he created Turbo Pascal as well as it's successor Delphi" http://www.gekko-software.nl/DotNet/Art00.htm[^] "Quand tu sèmes ta haine tu récoltes la Kalachnikov Love" -Kalachnikov Love, Alpha Blondy

Did you know that the main architect of .Net was the main architect of Delphi (have a look at http://windows.oreilly.com/news/hejlsberg_0800.html and especially at http://aolca.com.com/2009-1001-279995.html?legacy=cnet)? He was also the guy behind WFC if you remember the previous attempts of MS to get over with Java. When you work with Visual Studio.Net form and you have worked before with Delphi, you are on home ground. When you work with C# and you have worked before with Java, you are on home ground. When ....

Let's not forget its companion TASM. You could always do your own optimizations with TASM. :) Ahh.. Those were the days. FreeBSD is sexy. Getting closer and closer to actually submit an article...
