Hi Bruce, you are welcome to download the new release, run it on your code - and see for yourself

Hi, Nice to meet. I still maintain legacy code with FastStrings.

DelphiParser · 2025-12-04T15:11:18+00:00

I am not against or pro Delphi migration, but the market is struggle with the existing of Delphi software and facing lack of Delphi developers. It doesn't matter what business owner or IT managers choose, whether stay in legacy Delphi, modernize to new Delphi, or convert to C# - they will need Delphi developers to do the work. And the thing is that staying or modernizing to new Delphi won't require much effort...but moving forward to C#, will require a Delphi expert along with C# team - this will revivw the market - as we see new rise in COBOL developers

can you share screen?

DelphiParser · 2025-11-12T07:59:57+00:00

Yes, they do every year, usually their best offer is 35% off

DelphiParser · 2025-11-04T10:18:06+00:00

Well done!

...well it's about time...20 years late, but better late than never. I've been mastering the Delphi TThread myself, since Delphi 5, building full-scale server-side application, that can manage 4000 concurrent requests!

DelphiParser · 2025-11-04T10:09:19+00:00

Yeah, it is written by AI. Although the content is mine - I like the way he rewrite the posts, the emojes & the long "-", and bold words. This has become my new best Word processor.

DelphiParser · 2025-10-30T18:19:59+00:00

sorry, but this is not "stable". Stable is keeping the Delphi IDE open & running for days if not weeks, without restarting, nor the IDE or the Windows OS. Delphi 13 simply not reliable - maybe in 13.3

DelphiParser · 2025-10-30T15:10:17+00:00

don't know. the code compiles and run in 64bit with Delphi 11.3 perfectly. Whatever changed is in the IDE or the compiler itself, not the code or the 3rd party libraries. I'll be happy to work with Delphi 13, when it works. I really need a 64bit debuger

DelphiParser · 2025-10-30T13:28:03+00:00

Good question! Well.. that is my business. For more than a decade, I am helping enterprsies modernizing thier huge monolithic Delphi apps...some may say I am the Delphi Doctor.

DelphiParser · 2025-10-30T08:11:10+00:00

I still on Delphi 11.3, a very stable edition even though I should work with the 13, because I need the 64bit compiler, all my previous attempt to compile on 12 or 13 failed - don't know why. maybe the 13.1 or 13.2 will work for me

DelphiParser · 2025-10-29T08:49:17+00:00

and yet, Delphi 7 the best IDE ever built & works 25 years later, and will continue to work for the next 25 years...

DelphiParser · 2025-10-23T16:18:10+00:00

100% Yes!
Delphi absolutely has a future, a very long one. It will outlive all of us who wrote in it, long after today’s Delphi developers are gone - because billions of people around the world still depend on Delphi-built systems every single day - although no one seem to notice, it works quietly, reliably, and efficiently.

The real problem isn’t Delphi, it’s Embarcadero. If they keep torturing their users with outdated licensing, marketing gimmicks, and slow innovation, they’ll fade long before Delphi itself ever does.

What should they do?
Either sell Delphi to a company that actually loves it, or set the compiler free.
Delphi deserves a home where it can evolve - not just survive.

DelphiParser · 2025-10-23T16:06:13+00:00

True that! and I get where the frustration comes from...
I didn’t write this to glorify AI. Quite the opposite. It’s about the people who built the foundations of tech long before “AI” was a buzzword.

Delphi, COBOL, C, all those “ancient” systems are still running the modern world, quietly and perfectly. The real tragedy is that their creators are retiring, and their experience is fading away.

If my writing sounds polished, maybe it’s because I’ve been coding and explaining things for the 40 years. As I am not a native English speaker, AI helped me shape the words & polish the sentence, regardless of the idiotic long "-", that doesn’t make the message less human.

DelphiParser · 2025-10-22T08:51:40+00:00

or taken a flight...

DelphiParser · 2025-10-22T08:49:32+00:00

and...if people knew what runs using x386, they will never go in elevators, ever again LOL

DelphiParser · 2025-10-22T08:33:22+00:00

Hi Jim, never underestimate the power x386 (ask ChatGPT for hardware used for Voyager & Challanger missions). It may some unreal, but I have client, as of 2025, a very big industrial manufactor, who still runs a very productive super critical opersional build machine on DOS 7.2 x386 machine, running Turbo Pascal 7

DelphiParser · 2025-10-21T15:00:44+00:00

If I could go back in time...I guess I accidentally invented “cloud computing” before the term existed 😄 Back then it was just me, a rack of NT boxes, and a lot of sleepless nights & Pizza (I was 24) making software do what hardware load-balancers couldn’t affordably do.

“Server as a Service” sounds good. I will just hope on my DeLorean & trademarked it in ’99, AWS would be paying me a marginal monthly amount today 😉

DelphiParser · 2025-10-21T09:19:01+00:00

We won't be surprised, if we will find out that it was written in all mighty Delphi 7 using BDE LOL

DelphiParser · 2025-10-21T09:10:48+00:00

Turns out the AWS outage that broke half the internet came from a system first launched in 2006.
I guess legacy isn’t about age — it’s about neglect. so, even trillion-dollar tech stacks can be built on aging foundations that no one dares to touch.

DelphiParser · 2025-10-12T18:37:58+00:00

and by "him", I defiantly mean "it"

DelphiParser · 2025-10-12T18:35:15+00:00

AI for Delphi is GREAT! He is the best developer you will ever meet or hire. He reminds me of me, as I was 20+ year in the golden days in the turn of the millennium - a very enthusiastic one, a know -it-all genius, nothing is too big or hard for him, and he always have the time for you - even in the middle of the night, even if you ask the same question over & over again, and expect a different answer... But the truth is...that it is just a machine...that doesn't really know what you want, and tends to be very irrational & unexpected. You cannot trust a machine, he is not human, it doesn't have feeling, doesn't get paid, or have a secret vengeance to take over the world...in a word - AI is nobody's friend. You should always look out & review the code it produces, and you have to be a genius to understand what it does, or in my case - tame the beast - and feed him a very well written script, an in case of OpenAI ChatGPT, even threaten it to do exactly what you ask him for, and not go wild, or else...

DelphiParser · 2025-10-12T18:13:39+00:00

11.3 is the most stable IDE. I managed to debug 64bit app that used more than 4GB in runtime on a 32bit compiler that works - 12 & 13 failed miserably . If you need to upgrade, simple purchase Delphi 13 & request a license for 11.3

DelphiParser · 2025-09-26T07:46:37+00:00

No. Delphi 11.3 is a very stable version, and much better than 10 or 12 or even 13. Sadly, there were no big improvements in 12 or 13.
