I guess I should have started on a greenfield project.
For me it was less rosy.
I remember my boss trying to get me started on Delphi.
We basically had two or three Delphi developer workstations available because setting up one that could compile the projects we had in our vcs was a three day task - and it was only possible with the help of our resident Delphi consultant.
Stuff like that has made me love Maven and Java.
Same goes for Visual Basic that I once used to love.
Still I feel I could have loved it if I didn't start with 10 years of accumulated references to unsupported packages. :-/
- Joeri 10y agoThe way delphi finds its units is similar to how java finds its classes, so it can be smooth sailing or an absolute nightmare depending on how the project is laid out.
- reitanqild 10y agoUnlike how Java finds it classes I have clear memories about installing things that would update stuff in the registry.
