Yes, I'm a big fan, always have been. New language features like generics, attributes and real closures/lambda functions make it unique for a native-compiling technology. Most such languages use big nanny runtimes (JVM, CLR). Haskell, interestingly, excluded. I enjoy coding in Delphi. One of my pet projects (read: stuff I do in between projects, waking and sleeping) is a "Fox Pro meets Smalltalk" app dev system that I"m working on in Delphi, actually. I'm also working on a creative writing application in Delphi, that's mostly for my own use and enjoyment. You can do Office 2007 UI look feel out of the box with Delphi 2010 as well. They used to be behind on that kind of thing back in the day. Also, they use MS Build rather than their own proprietary/quirky build system. Much more stable and familiar. - Publius > > -- > Mike Babcock, MCP > MB Software Solutions, LLC > President, Chief Software Architect > http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com > http://fabmate.com > http://twitter.com/mbabcock16 > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
