New Development. Where do we go?

Embarcadero Delphi?

This might be a long shot.... what about Embarcadero Delphi XE5? It is a Pascal based development environment. Much underrated IMO and a bit minority perhaps but very powerful. But I have used it for 20 years and created major projects with it inc a complete Factory Management System, a full blown Mail Order program which handles everything from the web ordering through to despatch inc credit card processing, stock control etc etc etc and an EPOS backend system.

It is at home knocking up a small utility as it is creating major projects. People ofetn ask what my software is written in because the end results are very professional (happy to supply example screenshots of what iots is capable of). And it has some great VCL components e.g. direct databse access using Devart components.

The environment is fine, been around long enough to make it just right.

The latest version can target Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.

Just a thought and perhaps something you might want to consider.

If'mconfused (as always, this is not unusual by the way). How do they know they have found 93% of them? The article says there are another 70. How do they know this figure if they can't find them and don't know where they are?! !

Amazon?!

The 'Buy from Amazon' button in the summary box made me chuckle!

Can I order one and have it delivered to my local McColls 'click and collect'?
