If you haven't written apps in Delphi, you can't appreciate how easy it was to write interactive GUIs.
It was a freaking miracle, and I wonder how we have managed to lose SO much ground.
- pjmlp 10y agoWe let the kids run the show and turn a platform for interactive documents into some sort of VM.

- Alex7691 10y agoActually, that's not what customers demand. Customers demand a SOLUTION. IT managers demand less work and that's why web is so prevalent. IT teams just need to run a script to release version 2.0 of your application, being used by hundreds, thousands or millions of users.
