You repeating this weird strawman take a million times doesn't make it true. Why don't you finally just put out some genuinely interesting projects demonstrating how everybody was doing it wrong, so people can make up their own mind and finally be convinced. There must be some true magic in those languages and platforms you mention, that should offset the pain of writing in upper case and with super long KEYWORDs everywhere, and to offset the cost of switching to a culture that has way less mindshare and way less of a software ecosystem around it.
FWIW I've actually worked for 6 months on a large old Delphi project. It was some performance work that, as almost always, mainly required getting the language crap out of the way. In the end I got the job done (100x-1000x speedup) but I wouldn't want to switch back to this ecosystem: Licensing costs, weird language warts there too. A slow moving ecosystem. Ultimately, I just need something that does what I tell it to do, reliably and fast, and that doesn't get in the way.

- AndrewDucker 13d agoPeople should reply on Hacker News. If you disagree with someone's opinion and you have reasons for doing so then the right thing to do is share them.
- pjmlp 13d agoSure, except there is a bit of history here, this isn't the first exchange, and I am not bothering to reply back as we aren't going to change opinion on C vs safer languages until we leave this realm. Thus we can keep filling HN with pointless comments or move on.
- jstimpfle 13d agoThere is plenty history of you repeating the same strawmans literally thousands of times. I've just never seen _anyone_ on HN (or elsewhere for that matter) make such claims?
- pjmlp 13d agoHere goes again, better improve your Algolia search skills if you cannot find anyone else.
- jstimpfle 13d agoI don't even have to search. Given the frequency of you repeating the same old tired stories, one is bound to stumble over your comments every other day.
- pjmlp 13d agoApparently it is not tiring enough, given that you keep replying. Here is an hint, I won't stop having my opinion, so you can keep replying every time I do them, and we will repeat similar discussion threads, or move on and touch grass or something.
