...Yet both Delphi and C# were designed by the same guy (Anders Hejlsberg), and thus much of the learning from Delphi was able to influence C# (and the CLR).
i wouldn't dispute that c# is a fine language. i wouldn't argue that object pascal is better than c#. i would, however, argue that delphi, mostly because of its incredible two-way design interface is a terrific development environment, superior than any forms designer included with visual studio. i don't know what hand anders had in the interface builder of delphi, but its better than visual studio's (better than all of the vb verions, etc).
