They guy created C#, not such a great language IMO,

I'm not certain Anders H is actually who really made delphi what it 
is...

I think borland did it together and too much respect is given to Anders.

Think of it this way: Delphi 5/6/7 were basically the best versions or 
most widely used versions of delphi, not the versions that Anders ever 
worked on AFAIK. Can't remember but I don't think Anders even worked 
there during the delphi 6/7 days. Too lazy to look up the history of it 
all.

But TurboPascal was indeeed a cool product. But Delphi 2/3/4, who really 
used those? Maybe total commander is still written in it, but most 
people and projects all over the net that came like wild fire were the 
delphi 5/6/7 projects.

Then there was the whole issue of uncommented source code... Does God 
not comment source? Anders wrote turbopascal in uncommented assembly... 
so borland had to change their ways and make delphi maintainable 
product, not an uncommented assembly source... But just my opinion. I 
might get sent to hell for criticizing GOD. People have also said that 
Christian Ghisler is God, which may be true. Some Russians I think said 
it on the total commander forums. Then there are the Emacs author must 
be God conspiracy theories, which I will not subscribe to.  Heck, the 
joke is that half of these people who are claimed to be GOD are 
atheists/antitheists. But technically if God does not have a god above 
him, he really is an atheist/antitheist because he believes he has no 
god. Irony for you..

No really just watch the recursion in The Thirteenth Floor movie.. there 
may be multiple Gods which almost seems Pagan, not christian, not 
Jewish, and, not Islam.

But we do know if there is a god: he is a criminal, is a voyeur, and 
likely should be taken to court and put on trial for being a pervert 
with a spy cam on the universe.  Possibly the CIA, or NSA, an elite club 
of likely mentally ill stalkers and perverts.

For the Germans out there, World On A Wire is likely a better movie than 
The Thirteenth Floor, but, I like both films almost equally.
