GeneralDelphi !? PinmemberSignal-98:43 3 Nov '06  
GeneralRe: Delphi !? PinmemberBoysalsa13:38 3 Nov '06  
I have been using Delphi for years. There is a great user group in the UK (www.richplum.co.uk) for it and its still very popular accross Europe (especially in Germany I'm lead to beleive) and USA. I've even heared a few Borland spokes people say they have a loyal following in the far east even though they are convinced most of that is from illegal copies.
 
There is a load of really nice stuff integrated in the newer versions where objects can be maintained by changing the UML diagrams, its a very mature and cool product. I guess it says a lot for the language and the solid base that it has that Microsoft ended up paying off Borland a few years back when Anders left to go to them and hes the guy who's been the "father" to the new .Net and C# language. I know some new features in the last year or so we have been using for about 7+ years. (eg C# Generics = Delphi Interfaces) I think it also helps that delphi developers can compile the same code in .Net and Win32 if they have been following the advice thats been out there for the last 3 years or so.
 
Anyway... delphi has been more than paying my bills for the last 5 years when I started commercially programming, and I don't see much change to that in the future.
 
In short am I shocked? In short a little that its 30% but plesently. Would I expect to see it at the same level in 6 months time or a years time. I would hope so. (Especially as the BDS (Borland Developer Studio) is a great tool that enables you to write Delphi, C++, C# and Delphi for .Net projects all from the same IDE.)
