Ask HN: Do you program in Delphi?

1 pointzio992 comments

I used to program in Borland Delphi growing up. It came on about 7 floppy disks about 10 years ago, and was a big leap over what my parents used: [PDF: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/fisk.pdf]. I hear Skype uses it, who else?

I work in a group that makes avionics simulation systems. We use Delphi for user interface components in some programs.

I kind of doubt we would start anything brand new in Delphi, but it lingers on in old applications that we continue to update.

I made a lot of windows applications using Borland Delphi a long time ago. I'd enjoyed. Maybe someone should make the same with Pascal what they did with Ruby and build a Pascal on Rails.
