I wasn't going to way into this, but C, C#, J# and Java can often look like line noise. I hate to say it, but VB.net has it closest to any of them as a readable language. To me Delphi/Pascal falls short because of the BEGIN need, optional END statement, lack of a good CASE/EVALUATE statement, single tick as the quote mark, colon equal/equal as the equator/comparator, having to forward define everything in a class, and user having to fix circular referencing. Fix those nitpicks and you have the best language IMO. VSS has caught Delphi in recent years especially with some of the plugins available. The old VSS was horrible, but VSS 2005 is nice. __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk
