This one is pure gold :)

Ah crazy things in the industry. At least back then it was about development software now they fight over stupid social networks :D

Rings a bell! Wasn't there a J Net or Visual J or something too by Microsoft? I remember Borland/Inprise had in fact a J Builder too :D

Oh there was a Microsoft J# too right?

Yeah you're right, the little I saw it of C# resembled Java (which I don't know much of either, but the syntax is recognizable). I think there's Delphi in the spirit, more than anything. Or maybe C++ Builder :D

Oh yeah I definitely wouldn't do that or pay a dime there :D (although to be honest I had to almost take a family snapshot the other day for airtm. But well one has to eat :D )

Yeah well C# was created by Anders, the heart of Delphi, so it should have been my natural move. But I didn't. Good thing it's free. I have a little unnatural aversion to the .NET dependency (one EXE no DLLs was my mantra) but these days it's quite embedded in Windows so I should get over it :D

Not lately but I still have a couple of potential clients (from time to time) who ask me Windows stuff, mostly middleware to be honest, so a Console app, but if I want a GUI too, I need that. Delphi again has been the solution but I've not updated and don't play to do $uch thing either. Soo :D

Oh yeah I know, at least about Electron. Flutter too I guess. Delphi is totally native and I use that but I want to leave it behind :) I'll sadly end up using some Free C# :D

THERE ARE PARTIES! But none here unfortunately ! We want party penguin :D
