Hi guys, For some time now I have been wondering about the future of Delphi. I'm a Pascal developer since 93, and then in 95 a dream came true. I got Delphi 1 in a PC magazine, and nothing ever looked like that before, a dream came true! Compared to VB 3, 4 it was fantastic. :-)) I followed all the versions, up to Delphi 7; it was always the superior hand in my eyes. (All Borland development tools btw)
But since Visual Studio 2003+ I see that things are changing, Microsoft is getting the better of Borland. A lot of companies that I know were using Delphi are switching to either .NET or Java. They aren't even trying Delphi 2005. At the company I work, I had to program in C# with VS2005, and I have to admit I like it :-/, I also knew C for years and liked it, but now with C#... I have this mixed feeling of: NO Delphi is my native tongue and I will not betray it, but somehow I feel that the market is pushing me in that direction. You can certainly see that one of the main Delphi developers ran across because VS has a lot (and sometimes superior) in common with Delphi. Also the 'For Sale' of Borland isn't good news. So, I just wanted to know. What is your opinion on this? Am I the only one here that are thinking of a doom scenario? Any experience? It's just, Delphi was a revolution in the past, it kicked as but I somehow think that it is dying. Best Regards, Nick ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo!
