Wow, I knew about Lazarus but I didn't realize there were still new versions of Delphi coming out. Anyone used it recently? Delphi got me my first paying programming jobs. I remember when later versions came bundled with Delphi 1.0 so you could still build 16-bit applications with it :)

Recent releases of Delphi have been troubled and a bit directionless; it seems like Embarcadero, the current owners, are understaffed or incapable, and they seem scattered and unable to make consistent strategic decisions.

  Bummer, but not too surprising. I was puzzled by some of the decisions they made back in the Inprise years.

  Aren't they targeting native Android, IoS, Mac and Windows now?

Delphi is pretty neat for rapid user interface development. If I'm not mistaken then Skype Windows client is based on Delphi.

How fast are they compared to Delphi? Fast compiling was definitely one of Delphi's main selling points back in the day.
