It was great! Pity Borland had to mess it up.

Now C#/.NET Native is the closest experience to it.

Thank you all, the reason for the question and what we can do for programmers that will program in D.
Thank you again.

If I can start over again, thousands of miles away, I will have in mind, I would program in D.

Lol, I just thought "but the lyrics are 'If I could start again, a million miles away'". People sing Cash's version now and then over here in an Irish pub at Karaoke nights.

Actually, I'm 49 years old and made ​​my first program on a TRS-80 III and a systema conmpleto in cobol in 1986, then I moved. I live in another country and by D interecei me again voitei programming.
yes, and a chorus of music.

Interesting, I never realized Cash's cover had slightly different lyrics. Only heard his version once or twice though. (Downward Spiral, OTOH, in the many years since I got it I've probably listened to that album more times than any other CD I own.)

I could not agree more!!
Delphi is simply so elegant, so efficient and at the same time able to compile in such a quick time and generating such compact executables that it was always wonderful to work with, albeit, in my opinion, more in the Versions of 5 ,6,7 years ago...

thanks God, there is Lazarus now!! (pun intended!!)
Lazarus with freepascal is really a good combination, in my opinion....
