Is Delphi Dead ?

[clubreseau]

Delphi can only get better ., even become embodied as FreePascal & Lazarus., It will rule Linux, Win64, OsX and Mobiles !

Well, delphi is Not dead. At least, today (July 2010). It will be dead at, idk... maybe at 2020 or something. Coz today we have a great choice of developing tools, not only for Win32, but for Compact PC, Mobile, iPhone (already 2!), Linux, macOS, android platform and so on... Delphi unable by default to support develpoment for these cool devices. It's a big mistake... And, as much as popularity of such compact devices will grow - it will lead delphi to its RIP date. IMO, year of 2020, or someting like that.

Delphi can die earlier. But... and thats very interesting... professional components for delphi can Revive it and can bring it to a very New lvl. Like today we have Ribbon UI in delphi only by TMS components, and unicode support by tntUnicode. Thats cool. Maybe component developers will grow delphi Up, and it will have long time living.

Pascal is a language very powerfull, and we will see if Borland, Embarcadero or any else made a modern compiler not only for Win32

I think delphi isn't loosing popularity to others desktop languages, the problem is the market whants web application, this is the point that delphi isn't a good choice ( like any MS "desktop" visual studio environment ). VCL for the Web ( from Atozed ) needs improvments.

IMHO, Delphi is the best IDE to work with, object pascal is the best language.
Lazarus is great as well.

I wanna see the crossplatform in the next version.
