Hi World,
We have been developing Engineering software in Delphi 3,4,5,6,7 for a
few years now. This morning we had a discussion about OOP and
re-programming the software to which the question came up, should we
stay with Delphi and go with Delphi 2005 or not. I'm interested to
here everyone's opinion. Here were a few points raised. Is the
future .net and will every one have .net in 2 years time. Will Delphi
be around in 5 years time. Should we look at going to C++.net or is it
to hard a language. Should we look at Java or C#.net. As we're based
in Australia not to many PC have .net install as yet which is also true
in Japan and NZ. How has the development arena in Europe and the US
been progressing.

This is off-topic here, but here is my take:
If you are going to target the Windows platform, .NET seems to be the
only platform Microsoft is investing into. MFC has been seeing minimal
updates for almost a decade.
On .NET choose C++/CLI if you want the highest level of performance and
the power of C++. In other scenarios, C# might be the way to go.

it is a off-topic here . but my opinion is yeah C# is the way to go for
windows platfom applications. The future belongs to C# . I , myself
have used Delphi for years & it is a godess for application programming
but If i were you i would choose C#.NET , cause no one is sure that
Delphi is going to last for next 5 years ...

When will people get off jumping on every passing coding bandwagon....
I thought the future belonged to Algol, or was that SmallTalk, or maybe
it was Pascal, no wait it was Ada, no I'm positive it was Java, sorry
Eiffel, no I mean Python...
....don't worry about the future, the present belongs to C++

The past, present, and future belong to programmers
who know that there isn't, and never will be, a
single tool (e.g. language) that is appropriate
for every task.

Go with Delfi.
I'm interested to here everyone's opinion. Here were a few points raised. Is the future .net and will every one have .net in 2 years time.
For windows, answer is yes, probably since they are dropping
support for older versions.
Will Delphi be around in 5 years time.
Don't know. But delfi is very good so ....
Should we look at going to C++.net or is it to hard a language.
I wouldn't bother with it. I can't see any advantage
over C# in .net environment, except that c++ programmers
would preferably stay within same language but...
you don't have C++ code.
Should we look at Java or C#.net.
Java has advantage that it has vm running on more then
one platform.If your target is windows only, then you could
be ok with C#, too.
As we're based in Australia not to many PC have .net install as yet which is also true in Japan and NZ. How has the development arena in Europe and the US been progressing.
Then it's too early too change...
Greetings, Bane.

A good programmer can program Fortran programs in any language :-)

Yes. And a bad programmer can programa BASIC programs in every
language :-(

You can always tell an old FORTRAN programmer, but you can't tell him
much. -- red floyd, 1984
I came up with this after I inherited some code from this guy... He left
justified his code (no indentation)... AND he right justfied his
comments! And the only beautifier I had back in those days was cb (this
was a Zilog ZEUS system, so BSD indent wasn't available).
