Out of interest, have you tried C#? Delphi and C# share the same lead architect.

- noir_lord 11y agoYep, though the last time I used it was VS2010, it was very very good and you could see a lot of the Delphi lineage in the way it did things, I love C# as a language but these days I'm a linux based web dev. Really looking forwards to first tier C# on linux though!
- narag 11y agoWas he? IIRC he was more like Borland CTO or something while Chuck Jazdzewski (also poached by Microsoft, now in Google I think) was the project leader. Anders did write TurboPascal by himself though. Anyway, C# is not so close to Delphi. Both the language and the feel of the IDE are more similar to Java/Eclipse than to (good old times) Delphi. I've used C# for several projects and, even using a decent machine, the two seconds delay (for best case) was there when doing mostly everything, while Old Delphi and current Lazarus snap.
