I'd take any marketing material with a grain of salt. Delphi was big 20 years ago and used in important projects. There are certainly stories to tell, doesn't mean it's relevant to the current decade.
- clouddrover 8y agoDoesn't mean it's irrelevant either.
- user5994461 8y agoIt does actually. Be wary of any system or company that has not migrated away. Delphi means very legacy and it's a career killer for any programmer. The ecosystem had been on a strong decline for a while. The tools just to compile an application are incredibly expensive . Experienced developers have long left to other languages with more job prospects. New developers are not learning Delphi in university or anywhere.
- NikkiA 8y agoDelphi was never 'big', it was merely different and had some interest from the 'Borland' name being attached to it. Now they're not called Borland noone gives a shit about delphi.
- chungleong 8y agoNothing comes to mind developed in the last 20 years that's a good alternative to Delphi. Delphi lets you create commercial-grade software intended for a very small user base (less than 100). There's really nothing like it on the market. I imagine it's still used in many corporate in-house projects.
