Hm. Pardon my ignorance here, but how different is Delphi from Pascal?
I understood why we had it as a teaching language in high school and
Intro Comp Sci at university, but find the bondage-and-discipline
aspect tough to get through for real tasks. I seem to recall much
wailing and gnashing of teeth in my 3rd-year compiler class, where
students had the choice between Pascal and C. Everyone knew Pascal by
then, whereas most didn't yet know C, but the obvious easy choice made
things tough later.

parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don't even invite me.
