Delphi where is now and where it going

Hi guys,

We love delphi for its fast and its robust on developing windows
applications plus the third parties and delphi communities that exist
all over the net. On the otherhand, we have seen the direction of
borland which seems or have junk further development of the tools that
we have enjoyed over a decades.

What future are we looking and what is the current status of delphi, is
borland looking to it or it's time to move on for another tools?

I think Lazarus is going to have new meaning soon enough ;)

Thank you for all your thoughts, I really don't want to go away with
pascal because it was actually the first programming language that i
have come to love and learned, specially when borland releases delphi.
On the otherhand, we are force to adopt something that we are not
comfortable enough because of market demands and maybe this is also the
main reason why borland will junk delphi. We know borland has given us
a great product and a great tools but unfortunately because of the call
of time, the market demands so to speak and the way microsoft pushed its
product on universities, noboby now a days seems to know pascal:-(

I'll give a try on lazarus and just like glen i do have some codes that
were stable for a couple of years. For the mean time wait and hope for
borland to reconsider its position.
