Sure, Delphi does not have generics etc. yet, but from the language perspective I find Pascal to be a lot more readable than other common languages. It also has less use of special characters.</p> Just looking at languages, Pascal is my favorite.

I would prefer to have something else than: “Java Expert” written on my tombstone…

My gaps are somewhat wider than yours… 1998-1999 was Java… then nothing till this year except Java and more Java (well a little AspectJ last year) :-)

I’m digging into Scala when I’ve got time, and it’s pretty cool. There’s DEFINITELY a learning curve, since I haven’t looked at functional programming since Scheme back in ‘93 or so…

A few others have been blogging about Scala as well (Ted Neward and a guy named Debashish ) so it looks like it’s getting some attention.

Keep us posted on what you’re doing with it.
