Re: Show's Delphi's worth!

@vintagedave: I guess you never got the memo from a few years ago... Delphi is the product. The language is Object Pascal. Yes, at one point the language was also called "Delphi", but has since been changed back to "Object Pascal" to stop confusion. Yes, the TIOBE index is a bit confusing too, but to really be correct,they should combine Pascal + Delphi counts into one "Object Pascal" item. But then, that would also include the likes of the Free Pascal Compiler, Lazarus and GNU Pascal... The Free Pascal Compiler and Lazarus projects are growing at a fast pace... So the increased TIOBE index you see is definitely not only because the the Delphi product, but rather of the whole Object Pascal community.
