[DUG] Future of us Delphi programmer in New Zealand?

[Kyley Harris]

haha.. I simply am watching the market and trends of delphi in this country,
and I've kept track of many of the companies I know that use delphi.
Most of the companies that had delphi developers now have 1 or 2 maximum on
staff. the rest is outsourced offshore, or they are now using other
languages and following modern trends of c# etc.

I am in the position of writing and selling software, so choosing delphi is
fine.. my customers are not concerned by the language used, only the end
product..

More and more, I see other bigger companies ditch delphi for other
languages.. So I said no hope, meaning.. If you loose your delphi
employment, and are seeking a new job as an employee, rather than as an
independant software vendor.. its getting slimmer and slimmer pickings in
the market.
