I hear companies in The Netherlands complain that they cannot find people

and .NET because there are plenty of programmers for those languages.

My experience in the US is very much the same. The problem is that
Delphi has been in this negatively reinforced cycle for some years now.
This also makes it extremely hard to justify developing *new* projects
with Delphi; rather the jobs that seem to exist are maintenance and
migration ones.

I'm quite fortunate that my job isn't like that, although I know that
when they hired me over 3 years ago, they had said they had trouble
finding good Delphi developers. Unfortunately, we aren't hiring at the
moment and we're moving towards VS.NET.

Getting Delphi back into schools and the new Turbo's are so critical to
reversing this spiraling feedback loop. I just hope it's not a day late
and a dollar short.
