Delphi is one of the Elder Gods. :-) (More or less.) While it seems to have been stagnating since Borland decided to focus on existing Enterprise customers (and many "old" Delphi users switched to C# or similar weirdnesses), the birth of Lazarus (a Delphi clone based on Free Pascal, almost compatible with the Delphi syntax) has given it a new life. And it's still awesome: Its ALGOL roots gave it great features like a clean syntax and a damn fast compiler; plus, recently, it got support for developing cross-platform apps, including mobile.
Pascal/Delphi was my second "real" programming language after Visual Basic. It's nice to play with it again after all these years. -- <mort> choosing a terrible license just to be spiteful towards others is possibly the most tux0r thing I've ever seen |
