Delphi is very heavily used in the financial industry in RSA and is one of the more common languages in use in the country (the others being Java and .NET). The IT industry as a whole is fairly backwards in the country and extremely slow to adopt to new trends. 'Number of years worked in a language' is really the only meter in use across most of the country's IT.
- buyx 13y agoI agree about Java and .NET, but I haven't seen a Delphi job advertised in ages. Also, I wonder if you are being a bit harsh about us being "extremely slow" to adapt to new trends, but that's just personal experience -maybe I've been lucky. I've worked with vendors and clients from Europe and UK, and we seem to be able to keep up fine with them. I also know SA programmers who are doing fine in Australia. There's a lot of legacy crap that needs looking after, but that's a problem all over the world.
