I have never even heard of that. I did a quick search and is this what you are talking about?

The reason we don't have it is probably because we do not get enough questions about it. As you can see I have never heard of it :)

But if maybe Delphi can be in the Forum list, that can allow us to start asking about delphi

Well, that's "Delphi for PHP", the real Delphi is a full programming language and IDE. Wikipedia knows about it too.

Surprised you haven't heard about Delphi, it was one of the first language I had a look at (many years ago and I never learnt much, but that's because I was too lazy). It was developed out of Pascal and is taught in some schools, as far as I've heard.

Greetings,

i had Turbo Pascal at high school, Delphi evolved from that.
In my opinion Delphi/Pascal has no purpose outside of teaching..

I personally find that anything you could do with Delphi you could do faster/better with one of the more popular languages. Not that anything is wrong with Delphi/Pascal, i believe that they are VERY good for teaching the basics.

If you are not in some sort of education environment, i suggest you start looking into things like .NET, C++ or Java as these really are the languages which most employers would like you to be familiar with.

Well thats what the MISC forum is for, if you have a question that you cannot find a forum for you ask it here.

I personally have not seen very many questions regarding this so that was my attempt at a reason for why we don't have a forum for it.

Other memebers will be able to answer this question better because they have been here longer then i have.

Delphi has its own beauty, the Borland IDE is simple and easy to use, its object model is great (Java = Delphi object model + C syntax), and has a nice built in support for binary sets. But its other language constructs are ugly, especially the begin-end pairs, character, pointer handling, and logical expressions (you need to use many parenthesis, since there is no difference between logical and binary "and", "or" and "xor" operators). Java is far more successful.

Yah I agree. The begin end syntax sucks. There is some beauty in java that comes from the flow.
