Re: Delphi in more schools (was Re: Microsoft here I come)

Did it ever occur to you that the reason there are so many diehard
Delhi fans on the board (many 40 or over), is because they were using
Turbo Pascal in college and learned to love the product and the
company?


I actually fear the reverse. If students are never exposed to Delphi at all
in school, then the stereotype that Pascal is a weak language is further
reinforced and then when management starts investigating toolsets, they ask
their current crop of developers and no one would even mention Delphi in
that case...
