Borland programmers, when they die, go to Pythia[^] to code happily ever after in Turbo Pascal. Not a bad way to go, in my opinion. I assume VB is in one of Dante's levels of hell. Marc

for cross-platform Native App Development with flexible Cloud services and broad IoT connectivity

Just look at the buzzwords. It's aimed squarely at attracting PHBs, who would then push it onto their minions to write cross-platform-native-cloud-flexible-IOT-app thing with Delphi. :-\

I assume you meant to link to Pythia[^] not the Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia front page[^] :doh:

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

I cut my teeth on this language. Version 6. I actually think the language is very good, and was way ahead of its time 15-20 years ago. IMHO, Anders Hejlsberg is a genius with languages and it shows in C# today.
