Comments on: Rest In Peace Delphi http://www.hans-eric.com/2007/09/02/rest-in-peace-delphi/ Hans-Eric Grönlund on software development Mon, 08 Sep 2008 11:19:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: rocarobin http://www.hans-eric.com/2007/09/02/rest-in-peace-delphi/#comment-6087 rocarobin Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:39:12 +0000 http://www.hans-eric.com/2007/09/02/rest-in-peace-delphi/#comment-6087 :) Yes it is true that delphi is more readable than c/c++ because of its english words like ( begin, end, var for variable and other readables :) in c/c++ we know its twisted words. I hope you get my point. But when it comes to deep programming, i think delphi is to hard to develop, thats my opinion. I think delphi is not dead, because I've notice a lot of delphi code's still at run eg: Total Commander was coded on delphi and other more. Do you think their is a good program like TC for windows explorations ? NOP, TC is the best. The only thing that makes delphi dead because of the DELPHI company name DELPHI AUTOMOTIVE :) lol But of course the creator of delphi transfer to microsoft because of the offer of $20M. We Just continue coding with delphi for fun or for help :) Thanks for the info Hans-Eric. :) :)

I too think Object Pascal outweighs C and C++ when it comes to readability and productivity. That's why its decline is so sad. Thank you for your comment.

My opinion is that delphi and object pascal is far better readable for me than C-like languages. I will continue use delphi. It’s your opinion.

Sounds like you are gone, not delphi or modern pascal. RIP to you. Repeat after me: RIP to you. The only thing causing Delphi and Modern Pascal to die is the people that bash the toolsets, which is sadly the people who are using the toolsets. You'd think that MS Visual C users would be bashing it.. but no, it is actually the people using it who are bashing it. RIP to delphi users. Let’s clear one thing up.

Compare the c++ builder again's ms visual c++ and you will know the accessibility, simpleness and systematic flow of the design. Now if you are a geek or not geek you will know the difference. The only matter borland's product end out dead because their product in win32 platform was less introduce in the market. Update Borland products for more and well end up an excellent market in the coming years beginning at 2008. Don't give up borland (delphi, c++builder, intrabuilder, etc's). GOD SPEED.

Dont give up delphi. Give links to free downloads for old delphi versions. For the incoming new versions of delphi, let the market test the new product. Adjust Speed, accessibility and simpleness on the design. Let Schools do the test specially for the students and they will know whats the best to use. GOD speed delphi with borland products will rise again. :) Never give up.

PHP Delphi might be a good thing, but i dont see many PHP developers switching to Delphi. But maybe if they promote it right and sell it not for oldschool big price theyhave a shot. The language was always the problem with Delphi, nobody likes to learn another type of programming language. I remember how i didnt like the C-style of Java. PHP is C-base too, so .... they should drop pascal or also support C-style language. i loved Delphi, but for me it has been dead for a long time.
