We're maybe 50-100 Delphi developers and most of us can't wait to jump to C#. To each his own :)

- clouddrover 10y ago> most of us can't wait to jump to C# Why?
- nottorp 10y agoLittle historical fact, Microsoft nicked Andreas Hejlsberg, the creator of the Borland flavor of Pascal (starting from the Turbo Pascal days), and had him architect C#. So if you trust microsoft, or you're doing boring bussiness software where you don't care about anything but the paycheck, C# may be an improvement.
- pjmlp 10y agoYep, Delphi's soul lives a little bit in C#. Also a reason why I was quite disappointed of .NET being NGEN + JIT, instead of pure native compilation like Delphi. At least, WP 8.x brought us MDIL, followed by .NET Native and CoreRT. Also Anders and his team work on Typescript is quite good.
- jlebrech 10y agoyes, it's the same DNA. my missing Delphi I mean IDE that inherited from it's philosophy. text editors and command line scripts seem like a backwards step.
- erikbye 10y agoI'd happily write anything C# for a paycheck over anything .js.
