I understand that there are companies owning some Delphi
skeletons in the closet, and they are looking for people
who would do the (sometimes) frustrating work of maintaining
this kind of software, or rewriting it in some language that
current management finds more appropriate. Or so that its
"architecture", if any, is discovered.
Since Delphi was cheap and more popular on Windows PCs,
I'd assume the number of Delphi jobs is higher. The implication
"He can write GUI software using language X!" and
"Therefore, he can write GUI software using language Y" is seen
as false. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong!
Being "market-oriented", and not a brilliant engineer,
never pick Ada.
