I suspect the newcomers to our fold who know only about computers in a post Internet age, will not understand this. Those of us who have been doing IT for a long time will appreciate that. So why do you Choose Delphi? Share your reasons in the comments or on your blog #WhyIChooseDelphiĪs someone who is a “late to the party” Delphi developer, I must say that if you step away from all the BS speak in developers, you realize that Delphi provides any developer the greatest leverage across the largest number of platforms, without having to give away security or performance. I used to have a hat that said “ Delphi does it all, especially Windows” and that is truer than ever today. The fact it is faster for development is nice, but only part of the equation. Now I choose Delphi because it gets the job done better than the alternatives. I started out choosing Delphi because it was what I knew. Sure, Delphi it isn’t perfect, and sometimes there are incompatibilities or breaking changes from version to version, but by comparison, Delphi is so much better at this than any other language or platform out there that I have seen. Often times they just throw it all out and rewrite to support a new version. #Delphi xe10 free thread after execution finished softwareI attend a lot of general software developer groups, and it is common to hear developers complaining about how they just finished porting their code to support a new version of their tools, only to have it all break again because a new release of their non-Delphi programming language or framework just came out. #Delphi xe10 free thread after execution finished codeAll the technology partners are a huge part of why I choose Delphi.ĭelphi also has a huge commitment to the code we as developers develop. From the beginning, it shipped with all the source code for the VCL and also included a robust OpenTools API and component model making easy for others to extend the IDE, and build reusable components and libraries. The approach Delphi and FireMonkey provide make it quick and easy to do the most common tasks, while also keeping all the platform APIs and features within reach.ĭelphi really invented the 3rd party component market as far as I am concerned. Now with multi-platform development Delphi is more important than ever. While other general purpose tools don’t do anything to optimize common scenarios, which makes simple tasks more complicated than they need to be. Other tools that focus on productivity, make a small subset of tasks as easy as Delphi does, but also make anything beyond those tasks, or the that “ideal” scenario, hard or impossible. One of the defining characteristics of Delphi for why I keep coming back to it is that it makes the common tasks really, really easy while keeping the rest simple and possible. Occasionally I’d try personal projects in other tools and languages as a way to get to know them better, but I still found Delphi to be a better solution for most general purpose projects. Throughout all of this, I still found myself choosing to Delphi for personal projects. ![]()
