we passed c++ and if about two hundred more people from this community would engage we would pass c#.
why not?

    Nick Hodges We are agreed then that the result is statistically meaningless. That's good.

    I don't agree however that a faith in science and statistics in particular makes one a "hopeless pedant".

    As somebody whose business depends on code written in Delphi, I want to see Delphi succeed. I suspect I have a different view from you as to how it will achieve that.

    "Nattering nabobs of negativity". That's is offensive. Name calling? I think we can do better than that.

    Hi David Heffernan - the construction of meaning is in the first moment a subjective action and can result in the second moment in an intersubjective action of actors.
    If something is meaningless or not can in the first moment only be judged on behalf of any sole individual. If you want to argue in the second moment that that which the opposite individual conceives to be meaningful is meaningless, you enter the arena of intersubjective dispute and must have a good reason to do so, because you might be offended by the indivdual of which you try to deconstruct its construct of meaning.
    Or something like that ... don't you think?
    But I agree with you, that we should not be so offensive - that only hurts feelings and might even lead to desaster.

    IMO, the statistics are meaningless, and I am a Delphi fan. I mean, Bash, wtf? And, before this campaign started, Delphi was waaay lower in this ranking. Considering that we supposedly have millions of Delphi licenses out there, this is peanuts. EMBT would be silly to use this as evidence of anything.
