"Delphi is usable. If you're a single hobbiest programmer, use whatever gets the job done. But as far as a career goes, I'd say even Haskell has better prospects than Delphi." So "even Haskell" is better? Ouch! Still, in a bank-handed kind of way, I guess that means Haskell isn't as dead as Delphi yet, so it's also kind of a complement... of sorts...

Oh come on... has anyone here actually pursued learning Haskell because they thought it would help them rake in the jobs? :) ...I did once have a manager who habitually listed Lisp as a requirement for software positions, even though it wasn't actually going to be used (it was all C, C++ and Perl). He just wanted prospective employees to have had experience understanding a different paradigm (functional-ish programming). I wonder whether he's updated that to "Lisp, Scheme or Haskell"? XSLT would do as well, I suppose... - -- Micah J. Cowan Programmer, musician, typesetting enthusiast, gamer.
