Is Delphi used much these days?

[DoctorStrangelove]

Someone here wants to use this little lot & I noticed it uses Delphi.

Seems like an odd choice until you find this:

I know the doggie liked Delphi but I've not heard much of it since he got booted off the board.

I suppose my concern would be that we'd be painting the customers into yet another corner.

I enjoyed Delphi when I was learning to code as a kid - but then that was compared to BBC BASIC. I had no idea it was still around at all!

It appears that it is:

and apparently that's wot you need to do the arduino stuff.

Who'd have thunk it.

Can't abide Pascal & all its works, so not for me, thanks.

The Esteemed Customers are on their own with this one.

Blimey, probably got my first proper go of programming with Delphi back in the 90's, before really cutting my teeth in PHP and forgetting all about OOP until I rediscovered C# many years after.

My first paid PC programming work was using Modula-2, a sort of successor to Pascal. (My first paid programming work was on MVS-2, a mixture of ROSCOE and SAS).

I did Modula-2. Didn't last long, never been anywhere that uses it since anyway.
