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.<div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div><div>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..</div><div><br></div><div>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.<br>
