[off-topic to the thread, but relevant to your comment] I used to think the same as you described. But a few months ago, we needed to outsource the beginning development work of a new product, and it had to be written in Object Pascal. I also thought we were going to strugle to find developers for Object Pascal. I posted the ads in the FPC and Lazarus mailing lists. I got about 30 responces in 3 days, and about another 20 or so over another 7 day period. I could pick and choose who I wanted. There is NO shortage of Object Pascal developers as far as I'm concerned. We are living in a "global environment", where you can outsource work to anywhere, or work remotely with no hassles. It's time HR starts thinking outside the box (or should I say outside the Office)!
