Compiler Warnings...

Would you still prefer Delphi over .Net ?
Well, I am not Mark, but I would prefer Delphi over .Crap any time of the day. Though I am actually using FreePascal mostly these days, which is truly cross-platform compatible, in contrast to .NET which only pretends to be running on anything but Windows. So I am enjoying the benefits of a sane programming language without descending into dependency hell... ;P And as far as compiler warnings go, I tried them always with utmost respect, as almost always, they are at least a precursor for larger problems looming. In the rare exception that I deliberately chose to ignore a warning, this piece of code will properly be mark with some comment as to why, if there is no reasonable workaround to solve offending code.

You need to think deeper. If a programmer is lazy, no production means no one remembers any bugs in their software or any other problems - because they've never run anything of theirs. They'll be held onto the longest as they never make any mistakes!!

If you have a moment or two, could you please translate this into plain, proper English? :confused:

The English is plain enough. You just need to reorganize you thought processes to consider more options than simply being logical.

I started with C and did that until that job went away, found the job with Delphi and did that job until it too played out (DoD decided they didn't want the system anymore). I wasn't looking for more Delphi but those skills got me into the current job which eventually changed projects to working in java. All that to say this; If someone wanted to pay me more to do Delphi than my current job pays, yes I would. If someone wanted to pay me more to do old school C than my current job pay, yes I would. If someone wanted to pay me more to clean up after elephants, I probably would. I program to live, not live to program. It just pays the bills real good.

Well, maybe than it wasn't English in the first place. And programming is all about being logical, and that includes proper treatment of compiler warnings... And trust me, even after 43 years of programming, my thought process is just fine... ;P

That's an honest answer, which makes me think of:

For some reason your reply was marked as spam, probably by some Delphi hater, and I could not reply, but luckily an admin reverted that. Although I'm a .NET programmer I agree on the cross-platform thing, see: Slant pascal-based-languages-targeting-x86[^] Just saw a new entry in the list: CodeTyphon, so Pascal definitely is not dead and buried !

Well, a lot of .NET fans can't handle the truth... ;P And Delphi is by far not the only Pascal based programming environment. I personally use FreePascal (Free Pascal - Advanced open source Pascal compiler for Pascal and Object Pascal - Home Page[^]) with the Lazarus IDE (Lazarus Homepage[^]) for years, is truly OpenSource on cross-platform on Windows, macOS and Linux, and then some... I had a look at CodeTyphon a few years ago, as someone was pushing it on a mailing list, but at least back then it wasn't quite ready "for prime time"...
