It's increasingly obvious that that is precisely what he intends to do.

Oh? How so?

<. It's increasingly obvious that that is precisely what he intends to do.>

Rod,

Your note caught my eye because you weren't trashing a language and I thought "wow, he must be feeling pro-Borland today". Thanks for putting that zinger at the end. At least I know you're having a good day <g>.

While thinking of languages, I never looked back to see if you've done Delphi work and what your opinion (briefly) is of it. I've used Topspeed for Windows and it has it's quirks that my brain just cannot get used to, frankly I'd rather use Delphi but I've not gotten enough information about any drawbacks to ObjectPascal.

Considering the amount of time I can devote to study of a new language, knowing it's weaknesses is more important than knowing it's strengths - the weaknesses sometimes don't become apparant until a considerable amount of time has been invested.

I've seen continued strength in the 3rd-party Delphi market and that's certainly a good sign!

Thanks,
Dave

It looks like you are the only one to whom "it's increasingly obvious" that Del is going to run from a winner to a looser. Get ready for 11 instead. To all shorters, again and again, "Go for cover..."
