Well, simplicity is relative - it's how you look at it"
ComponentPascal:
TYPE Foo* = POINTER TO ABSTRACT RECORD END;
PROCEDURE (f: Foo) Bar*(), ABSTRACT, NEW;
Object Pascal (Delphi)
type Foo = interface procedure Bar() end

Subject: Re: [BLACKBOX] Years ahead of its time
And so, why is Delphi more popular than BlackBox?
I have never understood why elegance fails to win in the market place.
It seems that complexity and obfuscation grabs people more.
Why is this?

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I read this message enquiring
about Delphi 2010 in the Delphi newsgroup today:
"My question is this: has Delphi caught up with OLE yet, allowing objects to
be embedded in a code file? For documentation purposes I would like to embed
in the surce code file objects like images, equations, and hyperlinks - very
useful to the human reader of the code, but simply ignored by the compiler."
(BTW the answer is 'No')
Needless to say I directed them to the BlackBox site ...
