Quiet Delphi (was RE: [DUG] migrate app from firebird to informix)

[James Sugrue]

Have you not seen mono? C# on Windows, Linux, OSX. Don't confuse C# with
.NET. C# is a language that sits on the .NET platform. Same as Delphi.

Why would anyone use c#? Ease of use, speed of development, huge runtime
library, community, multi-platform (Windows, SmartPhone, PocketPC, now Palm,
and Linux and Mac using Mono).

Why anyone uses C# is
something of mystery to me. What is the perceived advantage over Java?
Moving
to another language without cross-platform (esp unix) support isnt a go for
me.
