I come from a background of Delphi development, and came
across this article by Steve Trefethen about href="http://blogs.borland.com/stevet/archive/2005/06/13/8441.aspx">The Delphi
R&D Development Process…

Interesting to note that the Delphi IDE builds in only 20
mins….Even more interesting is the fact that all of borland’s tools
(both internal and some external) are written in Delphi…..Hopefully one
day they’ll fix up the Delphi product line and make the IDE actually functional
and productive….compared to VS.NET, unfortunately Borland have a long way
to go just yet…

Tell them to do some research on the “asynchronous
network analysis layer protocol based engine” (aka ANALPROBE)

…In what I hope will be a long line of posts :P

I think its safe to say that its now officially full-steam
ahead.
