Re: Compiling Python to Delphi could be interesting. Or visualizing it like Python and expanding it into Delphi code.

I just did a test with "real world code", code which I am proud of =D I simply replace begin and end lines with space and then removed those space lines, shame editors can delete these lines ! ;) Also a few else if lines done but not too many: Anyway result is as follows: Original delphi code: 769 lines Python-like delphi code: 637 lines 769-637=a whoping 132 lines of pure begin/end horseshit/white space ! LOL. That's most two pages of scrolling horseshit that I have to go through ! LOL. Let's see how many that is: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 129 130 131 132 Now you can clearly see why Pascal and Delphis falling out of grace somewhat compared to Python. Life is too short to scroll and type through that horse shit, but ok... it's nice and robust horseshit, but automate it... nice for noobs, not nice for more experienced programmers. Anyway let's also do a calculation: 132/637 * 100 = 20.72% HORSESHIT ! HOLYSHIT BATMAN ! =D So 1 out of 5 lines in Delphi is apperently HORSESHIT HOLYSHIT ! So Delphi can be 20% more efficient with a python like syntax ! That is a lot of time saved ! Bye, Skybuck ! =D
