Ugh. Last updated in 1999 -- and it looks it. A parking
page would be better. I realize CG can't police the entire net.
Still, it's depressing enough to find zero Delphi jobs in my
city so far ... but that site just makes it seem awfully bleak.

The modern pascal language is in a sad state..

The job market needs to be less product oriented and more focused on modern pascal as a skill.

Things like lua/fpc/delphi should all be part of the job market for modern pascal.. and not just this single product based development.

One reason people aren't using delphi for jobs is because its this single product rather than an open thing like C++ where you've got more than just MS.... but several C++ compilers and C++ is a development language, not a "product specific to a vendor that could be ditching us even if they won't an everyone predicts it".
