RES: [lazarus] Lazarus vs Patents

[Henrique de Paula Faria]

Do you remember BASIC ? (GWBasic, Quick Basic), there are a lot of people out there that still works with its open project like FREEBASIC. FPC and Lazarus are not different. BTW they´re better because are plataform independent.   De: Fatih Demirdag [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviada em: domingo, 30 de abril de 2006 20:34 Para: lazarus@miraclec.com Assunto: RE: [lazarus] Lazarus vs Patents   Here on Turkey, Visual Basic and Delphi were both most used languages by relatively elder organizations. New ones now chooses between Java and .NET (yet Delphi .NET not even considered, just MS Visual Studio)   On the other hand in universities pascal considered as old, incapable and dead language. Academic people mostly agrees that no serious business can be done in Delphi. It is quiet hard to tell these people what can Delphi/Pascal can do. Everyone is imagining pascal as it were 20 years ago. %80 of people I know not even heard something called Object Pascal.   The university I graduated is based on Java. %90 of computer engineering thesis (if a program is to be written) are made by Java and others Visual Studio.NET. Using something other then these for thesis are considered both radical and waste of time.   Why people are keeping distance to Pascal this much? I think that is just because they think it is old and useless. They told this to others making those also think that way, and so on.   What a shame :(   Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
