Delphi Renaissance

Posted by Hemos on from the back-from-beyond-the-pale dept.

bongo69 writes "The TIOBE Programming Community Index is reporting that Delphi is experiencing a revival, this coincides with Borland recently releasing Delphi 2005 allowing users to target both win32 and .net platforms, which to some, is a welcome alternative for .net developers reluctant to use Microsoft Visual Studio or the opensource alternative SharpDevelop."

    Microsoft Visual Studio is neither visual, nor is it a studio.

      Microsoft Visual Studio is neither visual, nor is it a studio.

      It could also be said that Microsoft Works doesn't, and neither does Microsoft Excel. Microsoft does give easy Access, though, because it's hard to lock your Windows.

      Perhaps Microsoft is being more metaphysical? "Try Visualizing a Studio, and you will be there." Sort of a cosmic humanistic what-you-feel-makes-it-real type of software value-add delivery.

      Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go puke now.
