Which of these 3 languages is easiest to convert to Delphi? Indeed, C# is rather similar to Delphi when it comes to the design of the language, I think, but since it is a .NET language, I guess it might use a lot of strange .NET classes... |

isn't number localization just unnecessary? If I recall correctly, Mr. Burns is to blame for the latter problem. |

isn't number localization just unnecessary? stackoverflow.com/questions/5930714/delphi-invalid-float-value, stackoverflow.com/questions/5851647/…, etc. I wish the world would agree on using the period (.) as the decimal separator. A lot of things would be so much easier then. (I am from Sweden, where we use comma (,) as the decimal separator, but many mathematicians and scientists, myself included, insist on using period instead.) Still, the worst problem of them all, I think, is that Americans use these strange units that I have no familiarity with... |

How much storage space do developers really need on work systems? "Strictly speaking from work perspective" You need 1.5 TB for music and videos? (I use TBs at home to save films that Windows Media Center has recorded from my TV card -- I got hundreds of them, but this is my personal computer.) |

WPF vs. WinForms - a Delphi programmer's perspective? "As one of the architects behind WPF, Chris Anderson skillfully explains..." suggests that Chris Anderson is one of the architects behind WPF. Anders Hejlsberg is only a "technical fellow" at Microsoft Corporation, according to the quoted text, which thus doesn't prove his involvement in WPF. |

What's better: to learn yourself or to pass programming courses? A colon is missing in the title. |

Does good physical shape make peers underestimate you as a programmer? OK. I have never used these strange units (pound, ft, etc.) anyway, so I didn't know. |

Does any programming language use variables as they're in maths? In mathematics, most equations are not identities. For instance, x^2 + 5 = 6x is valid if and only if x = 1 or x = 5. Equations that are valid for all values in some "universe" (such as the set of all real numbers), e.g. sin(2x) = 2 sin x cos x, are called identities. |

What are the most impressive tricks an IDE could pull off with the code? Yes, this is very useful. But as I have said a few times here, it is very easy to implement and (hence) not very "impressive". |

What are the most impressive tricks an IDE could pull off with the code? I haven't use this either (I use RAD Studio for Delphi), but it sounds like a dream come true. (But is this a valid answer to this question? It is more a debugger feature than a code editor feature. Well, it is a part of the IDE, so maybe...) |

What are the most impressive tricks an IDE could pull off with the code? But this isn't a very advanced feature. Sure, it is highly useful, but not very "impressive". |

What are the most impressive tricks an IDE could pull off with the code? Bad luck... (You got mail at the very moment you took the screenshot.) But this isn't a very advanced feature. Sure, it is probably highly useful, but not very "impressive" (at all). |

How would you rank these programming skills in order of learning them? For Windows developers, you eventually need to master the Windows API. I also think it is important to learn to work with custom data structures mangaged manually on the heap. You should also learn to design, read, and write binary files (at least simple ones like Windows 3 bitmaps). And, if you work with native programming, you should become familiar with assembly. |

What are the most popular IDEs per language? I think that the proper name for "the Delphi IDE" is "RAD Studio". |

Does good physical shape make peers underestimate you as a programmer? @Ates: Well, the OP said "about 200 pounds", so I guess that the uncertainty in this number is more significant than the small variation in g between different locations on Earth (assuming the OP did test his weight on Earth, that is). Anyhow, it was the OP that said the mass was 200 pounds, not me! |

Does good physical shape make peers underestimate you as a programmer? @Ates Goral: The mass of a body is independent of the local acceleration of gravity. The weight is not. Now, English is not my native language, but I think that you say "normal-weight"/"over-weight"/"under-weight" and not "normal-mass"/"over-mass"/"under-mass" (given height), even if the latter would be more independent of the local acceleration of gravity. |

Does good physical shape make peers underestimate you as a programmer? Translated to SI: he is 2 m tall and has a body mass of about 90 kg (normal-weight BMI, according to nhlbisupport.com/bmi). |
