the idea) a rewrite of a multi-million lines of code project into C#, rather
than move to open source development tools where they can keep the huge code
base, the same language and reuse the same development skills. How weird??
Have corporates lost their minds.
I believe that the real problem is to find Object Pascal programmers
comparing with other languages.
The companies are thinking in their future.
"Who will maintain this code?"
"No one are using Object Pascal nowadays".
I hear something like this two times per month. :\
However, we know the potential of Object Pascal as a language to do anything.
If we have a better marketing, maybe more programmers could have more
interest to use the language.
IMO root of problem is in schools. People come to companies from schools
and what they have learned in schools, is what they are expecting in
companies ...
When I walked to school, we learned Pascal, I am suspicious, that this
does not happen nowadays.
