Sadly, the author displays ignorance and ineptitude. Delphi was not "developed in 1986 at Apple", nor is the manual for the C language "800 pages." Errors like these make the article a bit of a joke. A positive mention of Delphi from someone with a clue would be nice.
Summarizing a programming language in a sentence is a bit error prone in itself. While the Delphi description has errors, it is not without merit: - Object Pascal was first done by Apple - Delphi has this "Oracle" related name - It is growing in the smartphone space The pictures are totally crazy, probably the first hit on Google Image search...
btw, inducing to learn assembler is weird... which one are you going to learn: x86 (x64/amd64), arm, risc, pic? mnemonic could be similar, but architectures are very different. not to say that different compilers behave differently too.

ReplyDeleteI was just trying to take the positives
ReplyDeleteThe choice of pictures for some languages made me laugh.

playing on the Apple connection might help attract the younger element, being cool and all.
ReplyDeleteNice to see Pascal get a double entry with Delphi and Pascal. Surprised C# is not in the list, or did I miss it? R made it?
ReplyDeleteI've seen considerably worse efforts than that, overall quite ok. Though C# and C++ should be mentioned.
ReplyDeleteOK, there are some errors, but at least he got the difference between Java and JavaScript right...
ReplyDeleteWhy C++ and C# are missing escapes me too.
Read inbetween the lines, guys. C++ and C# are obviously derivatives of Objective C.
ReplyDeleteThe name of Delphi is surrounded by a bit of legend, some where I learned that if you want to talk to Oracle, you must go Delphi...
