I prefer C++ myself and have never used Delphi, but having used BC++B and knowing that Delphi uses the same model, I strongly disagree with your comments about Delphi.

I think the idea that you have Delphi & BCB with the same component library is a major plus. Literally, one can choose the language. While I prefer c++, when I have a need to work in Delphi I'm totally comfortable with it. I must say, though, I agree with you about Java. It will never live up to the hype.

Java is not now, and never will be, a general purpose language. While one can criticize CORL for not finishing its big Java product, the criticism really should be about their having begun the project in the first place. To have selected a language that was literally in the early stages of its evolution was a foolish, amateurish mistake.

It is absurd, when you consider the wasted resources, that most development is NOT done with Borland tools.
