I tried pushing C# at work, but they insisted I use VB.
Where in the heck is Delphi its been my language the last 14
years?
There is a programming language, B, which was superceded by C. Hence, the improvement to C was called C#. There’s also A, A#, D, E, F, and G. Oddly, there’s no F#, D# or G#, but there is an E#, which is kinda lame. Actually, there are two A#s: the .NET version of ADA, and the precursor to Aldor.

Oops. Correction: there is an F#.
The best programming language, in the world, is Foxpro.
It will be now and forever.
It is so fast.
It beats all rivals.
You will never convince me otherwise.
It’s curious how all the modern, let’s call them that, carry forward all of the shortcomings of Kernighan & Ritchie’s C, its obscurity, terseness, terminal console printer dependence, and its write only quality, as the two hippies invented it with the aim to avoid being understood by their bossess.
What are you doing? Don’t you see the “Loose lips sink ships.” there right below the “Post” button?
Borland had their logo on an office tower not far from here not all that long ago.
Features. Certainly not bugs.
Sometimes it's useful to pipe /dev/urandom to /dev/sound.
Everything is a flat file. Everything. Even you. ;)

FORTRAN is missing. (Sigh.....)

Visual Basic is dead. Perl is dead. C# is vanquishing its older sibling, C++. PHP is a long way from dying, but it’s obsolescence is becoming apparent. Ruby is hip again, but has lost too much ground against Python. JavaScript is only a client-side scripting language; although there would seem to be loads of room for growth, it’s not going to consume competitor’s turf.
Your choices are C/C#, Java and Python. But since Python is built on C, choosing Python makes some stuff way easier, but limits you from certain types of programming.
Drop to the ground now, and stay away from metal objects. When your hair starts to rise or you smell ozone, it’s already too late...
Find a new shop.
That story isn’t true.
However, the fact that you were the only person at Borconn this year should have been a tip-off that usage has fallen way off. No, not Borconn ... sorry, Inprise, Inprise, no that'ts not it CodeGear? ... Wait, Embarcadero Delphi Conference! I know it's one of those ... but I'm guessing a company rebranding can't be more than a month or two away, so no sense getting too attached...
What story is not true? That /n is a remnant of dependence on console printers before VT terminals were available? Because I’m not telling any stories.
Ever.
I've been using Mono for about two tears when I want to build, and run, C# projects on Linux. It works pretty well.
That story is not true.
