It's good to be a Delphi developer.

ReplyDeleteThe browser apps give options which were not there 15 years ago, so I respect that I may need to develop a browser app for some situations and native code for others. I would determine which one to develop with in the same way I would choose a language to use for the project at hand.
There are 10s of 1000s of Delphi programmers out there and some of us are around from before Delphi 1. I am still using it and if they are concentrating on native code then that sends a shot across my bow.
In conclusion, horses for courses - but the default is native code!
