I always wanted to know how many people use my experimental version of GExperts but never came around to actually evaluate the download counts. Today I finally did it. In total there were 9092 file downloads from downloads.dummzeuch.de/GExperts. Since in…

    "My conclusion is that I probably couldn’t make a living from working on GExperts even if everyone who downloads it did actually donate the suggested 50 Euros per year which is by far not the case."

    my conslusion is that delphi is dead on market... sorry, but this is sad true

    Jacek Laskowski I can perfectly make a living with Delphi without any problem.

    I'm one of the many that was not aware of its existence. Until last year I discovered GExperts. Even then I was only using (and still) CnPack a year prior to that. Now I'm also looking at CodeInsightPlus which if done properly could be the new ReSharper/CodeRush for Delphi.

    Uwe Raabe ...just like the cobol programmers, but what does this prove? I am writing about the fact that the delphi market does not exist, the lack of job offers, the lack of interest in this language of big business, etc.

    Jacek Laskowski COBOL was already dead when I was in high school (somewhere around '87) How do I know... because I was the first generation that didn't have COBOL in curriculum... on the other hand Pascal is still taught in high schools today...

    I hope that people declaring Delphi as dead are never in charge of deciding about organ donations.

    Dalija Prasnikar are you sure about Pascal still being taught in school? Last thing I heard most have switched to Java. But I have no kids so how should I know?

    Thomas Mueller Yes, at least here in Croatia. Not in all schools, and it is not anymore considered primary language...

    Long time ago besides, few lines of introductory BASIC, Pascal was primary language... next was FORTRAN... of course there were others but not as fixed part of curriculum.

    Nowadays, schools can choose between C and Pascal as primary language... and the rest is optional.

    Anyway, kids are exposed to plethora of languages, much more than in old days... so it is C, Pascal, Java, Python, JavaScript...

    Universities have shifted more than high schools... and Pascal has mainly fallen out.

    I forgot to mention... Pascal books are somewhat obsolete... the brand new Pascal book my son just got for his next high school year (3rd grade) teaches Turbo Pascal :)
