Re: Scripting Language?

I agree. Python for Delphi (P4D) is *very* useful.

Python with all its libraries and dynamic typing is a nice complement to
Delphi. It is possible to code some stuff that is difficult in Delphi
quickly in Python, and use P4D to make the Python code part of the
application. Very nice for prototyping. Quickly create part of the prototype
in Python, reimplement in Delphi later *if necessary*.

It would be nice if Python became one of the supported languages in BDS !!

I think those who prefer C# usually choose Visual studio. So if DevCo's lack
of resources is a problem: drop C#, add Python.
