[DUG] A change in upgrade policy coming from Embarcadero

[Jolyon Smith]

Which bit?  The Prism comment?

To be fair, I've not looked at Prism itself but back when it was Chrome,
before it became Oxygene I remember thinking that it was what Delphi.NET
*should* have been and made .NET palatable and interesting again.

There's something inherently messy about C# which offends my eye, and ime
messy = a pain to maintain in the long run, that and the fact that I'm
subject to the whim of a "black box" runtime environment and framework.  I
think deep down I'm a bit of a control freak.

:)

I was put off Java (back when *that* was the language that everyone was
going to have to learn if they wanted to stay in work), for the same
reason(s).

In general C# and some of the language features being shoe horned into it
(and these Days Delphi too as it continues the "me too" game) makes it look
increasingly like a language created for code generators, not humans.

You honestly think that?
