I think I've said before, but my team at Trimble is still busy using Delphi 2006 for the current release of our product, will probably be moving to Delphi 2007 for the next release, and ultimately see a lot of our code migrating to being compiled (as Delphi.NET code) into becoming part of a larger app where the framework for that app is written by another team in C#. Still very much Windows based, quite heavily graphics oriented, with DCOM, etc thrown in for good measure currently. I don't see why there should be particular issues with 3rd party support. It's always made sense to acquire source for any 3rd party libraries one uses anyway. Cheers, Conor
________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary T. Benner Just got this in the Firebird Yahoo Groups List. When I get a "snap" ( as in the card game ) I start to wonder. What are the issues people are finding now? ( see some below ) Are people writing in other languages for new projects, and using delphi in just maintenance? Are people ( like me ) writing apps in the Web platform now as opposed to the Windows PC platform? kr gary Firebird List message: I was wondering if anyone knows what percentage of applications thatuse Firebird are written in Delphi?I ask because I think Delphi's general usage is already shrinking andI feel like it is only going to continue to do so. If Delphi doescontinue to shrink I was wondering what effect that will have onFirebird's growth.I work on a large system with millions of lines of Delphi code so weneed to consider where things will be in 3 to 5 years from now whichis why I am interested. We already are having a lot of problemsgetting support for some Delphi code we have purchased from 3rd parties.
