I do use C# where it makes sense. It just doesn't make sense for the sort of shareware and desktop apps I mostly do.
I have never understood the fanatical hatred of garbage collection that some Delphi developers have (not aimed at anyone in particular but if you either try discussing gc in non-technical, you will get a large amount of vitriol heading your way). It makes some things much easier, and some things harder. Optional GC such as in D seems reasonable to me, but apparently not to everyone.

I want Delphi as a C++ replacement with as few compromises as possible, not C#. That said, the C# programming model has things I wouldnt mind in the language - data bound objects, decent object inspector and the dynamic interface thingies. Of course, if you are doing 64 bit, would MPI support be too much to ask as well? -- Phil Scadden, Senior Scientist GNS Science Ltd 764 Cumberland St, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand Ph +64 3 4799663, fax +64 3 477 5232 Notice: This email and any attachments are confidential.
