I guess you confused Delphi with Visual Basic -:) . Actually there is enough professional programming in Delphi (and *for* Delphi - I mean components here); I'm not sure that number of professional Ada programmers exceeds that of Delphi (percentage of professional programmers is certainly wildly higher for Ada, but I think that overall number of Delphi programmers may be similarly higher than the overall number of Ada programmers... including software engineers -:) . As for original subject... I wish original poster go to some C/C++ newsgroup with the similar proposition: let's change "||" and "&&" to "|" and "&" respectively, and vice versa - for the same reasons -;) .
