Delphi Dying? Think Again, Tiobe

• boznz 7y ago
  There was a massive FUD campaign back in the early 2000's which saw many Delphi Projects moved to C#, I am lucky to have always been in charge of what language to develop in so I have ignored stuff like this ever since and just got on with life.

  One thing that struck me about Delphi, is that the business model has stayed the same for decades. If you want to access a remote database, you have to go up to the Enterprise edition, which costs US $4000 [1]. That's the real turn off for me. Why should a dev product cost more than, say, $300 these days just because I want to use a 'real' database?

    Plenty of open source and paid for alternatives to this I use the mydac ones for $200 my other projects use zeos which are open source.
