Hello Delphi enthusiasts
Seeing so many people have a special liking for Delphi, as an old Delphi soldier, I feel very happy that there are successors and I am extremely pleased with it.
Borland is a company with the best engineers and worst managers in the world. I love Borland because of her excellent technology that Microsoft can't see; I hate Borland because she always misses opportunities again and again due to the mistakes of leaders.
Anders Hejlsberg, a genius who is unacceptable in a century, left, and java genius Blake Stone, also left, software genius after software genius left in depression. Even the master Li Wei in the minds of Chinese people is waiting for the fate of being fired. We can't help but ask, what's wrong with Borland, who was once a powerful man?
As my first-year professional basic course in college, "Programming" made me taste the beauty of Pascal poetry and the elegance of a noble lady for the first time, and was fascinated by it.
"Pascal, it's so good!" A burst of laughter woke me up from my sleep. I was amazed at this solemn and elegant totem in my dream. It happened in December 1987, 205, Building 19, Minhang Campus of Shanghai Jiaotong University in December 1987. .
From then on, I fell in love with this omnipotent elf. From turbo pascal 3.0 to turbo pascal 7.0, from Delphi 1.0 to Delphi2005, from TSR to Midas, from Midas to DataSnap, from BDE to DBExPRess, to BDP, I always accompany every milestone in Borland in excitement and worship. I share the success brought by Delphi3.0 to Borland, I am lost by Delphi4.0, and I am also glorious by the glory brought by Delphi5.0. It can be said that my career in recent years has been accompanied by the evolution of Delphi5 to Delphi2005. It is Delphi that has pushed me to the glory of my personal career, and it is also Delphi that has allowed me to have everything I currently have. Before I owned my own software company, I worked as CTO in several large professional software companies. It was Delphi that gave me the deep technical architecture background and analysis capabilities that C++/C# could not give me.
I can have no women in my life, but I can't have no Delphi. Almost 18 years have passed almost every night happily and wonderfully with Pascal/Delphi.
Although Borland's confused decision makers no longer let us see hope, I, who has integrated Delphi into my soul, will never give up on myself. With my own company, I cannot devote all my time to research technology, nor do I want to listen to the unfortunate news from Borland again, but outside of my busy daily work, I will still squeeze out some time to pay attention to Delphi After all, I can't live without her.
Recently, I've been very interested in Free Pascal, and this open language is amazing. Perhaps, when Borland decided to develop Kylix, it should take this step. Seeing so many like-minded people joining Free Pascal, a middle-aged Delphi admirer feels a pleasure that has never been seen in recent years.
By the way, whenever I see those shallow ignorant people with C++/C# or Java aura commenting on Delphi, I ejaculate my disdain for them from the bottom of my heart. What is Java? It's just a snail with a "big pie" architecture on a virtual machine; what's the C++ thing? Just a Western cowboy who is unruly, narcissistic, overbearing and used to self-hype; what's the C#? A thief who is accustomed to using $ to poach others' corners makes a clone of the stolen "trophy" that he has stolen. They have them, Delphi has already existed!
In fact, when I did this point in my software, I no longer paid attention to the advantages and disadvantages of that language. With the integration of technical architecture and a deep understanding of middleware technology, whether it is .net, j2ee, corba or web service, it has become a toy in my hands. But I still long for that day. The company no longer needs my practice. I have time to write something so that this mermaid who is envied and blasphemed by barbarity and ruthlessness will show more profound, elegant and lively light.
