I write code in a number of languages, and I have to say Object-Pascal (which is the language the IDE known as Delphi uses) is a joy. Check out Lazarus too, the Delphi like IDE for Free Pascal: http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/ http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/ <snarky comment> Too bad most programs weren't written in Delphi instead of C/C++, or we could've avoided all those pesky string based buffer overflow exploits since Object-Pascal doesn't allocate strings on the stack! </snarky comment> But more seriously, that means no "smashing the stack for fun and profit" in Object-Pascal, and that's a good thing. I picked up learning Delphi about 8 years ago when it was supposed to be "dead" then, and since then it has been my secret weapon. I still use C once in a while, but I am so much more productive in Delphi and the Free Pascal.
