New Re: Same old bullshit.
Still pretending you've never heard of Delphi, eh?

If I had my choice, I'd do it in Smalltalk...

New And WTF does that have to do with anything?
John U gibbers:
If I had my choice, I'd do it in Smalltalk...
So what? Apparently you don't have a free choice, but are constrained in that you need, as you put it earlier:
We don't want to risk developing with Microsoft beta software
Dunno if youy knew this, but Delphi actually is neither Microsoft nor beta software.

and we are stuck with .Net because all the developers here want a quick, easy GUI builder.
Which is exactly what Delphi is.

Well, except that you aren't stuck with em-ess-dot-net if you use Delphi; it's a quick, easy GUI builder for both .Net and regular Win-32 apps.

So what exactly was your excuse, again, for pretending that it doesn't exist?

Just wondering, you know...

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]

Before I came here, they tried to build a Windows version of the old COBOL software using Delphi and failed. The second try in PowerBuilder succeeded. Somehow, I don't think introducing Delphi will elicit a positive response.

New OK, so what you originally said was only half the story.
Left out the bit about how they inexplicably screwed up something that to anyone sane just shouldn't be screwuppable... (Did they try to write a COBOL app in Delphi, or WTF?)

Oh well, never mind.
