I think a quick play with seek co nz will tell you the story of where
Delphi is heading here in NZ.
"Delphi" keyed in as a keyword only returned 6 entries (in Auck only)
and I doubt most are referring to Delphi as a major language as well.
Forget how good Delphi is as a RAD tool I think its sad it been able to
slip so far due to poor marketing and pricing decisions by management
past and present(oh and the whole drop in quality issue after D7 did not
help one bit). Can it make a return to its early glory days in terms of
use I don't know, as its now got stiff competition from other tools of
which a few are free and attracting the masses (next gen developers
etc). But anyway I do have my fingers crossed if that helps.
