They didn't care for Pascal or Delphi and certainly didn't give a shit for Objective-C aka the Apple Language.

    They gave me my resume back with all the languages crossed out that they don't care for. One being Pascal. Free or not no one uses it. Only Scar and Simba use Pascal. And I know what FreePascal is as I used to have Lazarus and FPC installed.

    I won't bash it cuz we use it and I script with it but tbh moving from Pascal to Lape isn't anything for myself to get excited about. Pascal script to Pascal :P I'm not too fond of dual languages that can be Compiled or Interpreted. Lets be honest; it's used because it's easy.
    I'm not gonna say were not one of the big groups that use Pascal, but were not the only one...

    I can also see why a company like IBM would care less about Pascal as well. That doesn't mean ALL companies don't want it.

    I think even arguing about Java is irrelevant, since it won't end up in the main Simba process, ever.

    However, I also think that we could make the Simba client look more pretty. Art / suggestions on how it should look are very, very welcome. Try to keep it organised though - perhaps a new thread where everyone can post their own mockups of the new UI? Doesn't need to be code, gimp skills is enough.



    The best way to contact me is by email, which you can find on my website: http://wizzup.org
    I also get email notifications of private messages, though.
