Tried it very briefly at one point and although it seemed nice enough, it was Pascal and seemed pretty well irrelevant to the real world.

Rolo

1994–1995

yacitus

1994–1995

Used it to build a splash screen for the Hasbro Playskool CD-ROM installers. I recall it having a fun and easy learning curve.

davew

1995–1998

Got me into Windows application development.

kinda like Visual Basic, but with more typing required to make things go ;-) Then when i got to engineering school they also used delphi to control various actuators.

I learnt delphi while studying - for GUI programming courses (along with Jade). Though I didn't really use the language for commercial purposes, I did write a number of reasonably complex applications in it. At the time it had one of the best debugging experiences I had encountered in an IDE, and quite a cool component model compared.

From Turbo Pascal to Delphi. Was kind of cool with the visual GUI editing. Had to use it in University (old Professor, next year they switched to Java) to program on the blackboard. With chalk. Not kidding!

There were good times, there were bad times, there was coursework and hackery.
