It has been quite some time from the last installment, and there is a lot to cover -- although I did blog about a summary of the coming Delphi for Linux related news separately.

Delphi/Object Pascal at #9 in Tiobe March 2017 index - Swift enters top 10 by DavidI at https://community.embarcadero.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id=10531&Itemid=191.

Even if I don't think this is a real representation of use of programing languages, relative growth -- within the sane index -- is certainly a positive sign.
