Yep. The truth is sad. Let's face it. We are minority. But it doesn't matter. We love Delphi.
I worked for a while as web 'programmer'. This is the lowest point where a real programmer (real programmer=compiled, not interpreted) can go. Meanwhile I worked for companies that paid my without papers especially in video/audio domain and hardware/peripherals. That kind of company that doesn't ask in what language you will write the program as long as it meets their requirements. Actually it wasn't so bad, the money where good. I would like to find a real Delphi job, to add it to my CV but every body asked Java and C (any kind of C) or Delphi but only DB (God how I hate that boring stuff). Anyway being without a fixed job gave my enough time to learn/do what I liked and to develop my own pet projects. Now one of them it transformed in a serious application for genetic research. In February I will go back in Romania to get the papers to open my own company. So, in the end, Delphi is not so bad. It teaches you that you don't have to be somebody employ. With a good tool like Delphi you can do any kind of applications even for Linux of Mac (Lazarus). Imagine if in the past I would have decided for Java or Flash for example. Now I will be writing some stupid little games for cell phone or web sites. I love Delphi. I will always do. Even if we are in minority. ...and the traveler died, stroked by the beauty of the landscape.
