Delphi Turns 10

Posted by timothy on from the oracular dept.

NavySpy writes "Today is Delphi's Tenth Birthday! The launch of Delphi 1.0 occurred on February 14th, 1995 at the Software Development '95 conference at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Numerous links are commemorating the event, including a recorded interview with Zach Urlocker and Gary Whizin, members of the original management team. Zack's original Product Definintion document is here. An attendee at the original event reminisces about the launch."

    Delphi is the one and only language I wrote something in, for Windows. IIRC, I wrote a simple text editor.

    Then, I decided programming wasn't my thing, and moved on to OS whoring.

    Oh, the good ol' days . . .

    Only 8 more years and I can kick it out.

    I was listening to talk radio today. Borland Delphi was found dead in its Scotts Valley home at the age of 10. Even if you weren't an Object Pascal anti-Microsoft contrarian raging against the forces of the marketplace, there's no denying its contribution to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
