I thought this programming language is dead. Didn't saw a recent app written using it.

many standalone apps (legacy) still are written using Delphi pascal.
Here my programmers write in javascript/react/redux and believe me I wish they used Delphi instead, our code would be bug-less by 99%.

Yes, I can understand legacy apps written in delphi. After all Borland went defunct in 2009. Last couple of months I've been doing some project which, among others, uses JavaScipt and its libraries so I can't understand how JavaScript can be substitution for strong typed object oriented language.

back in my day, (90s,2000s) javascript was considered a "virus", so java programmers hated and despised javascript. Nowadays you can't land a job unless you stress the following keywords enough : react, angular, jquery , etc...

I know what you mean. For someone who has experience mostly in C, C++ and C# its not easy to find new interesting position. But its like a global trend to degrade the softwares. I mean just look at modern Linux suites like systemd, completely breaks UNIX philosophy which has been working good for decades, invoking lots of instabilities and security issues over few seconds of bootup performance.

yup absolutely, some years back, cloud was the buzzword and everything had to be cloud ready : stripped down app servers, serverless apps, systemd, etc...
I really hate those stupid programs that my careless programmers write. I used to write in servlets, EJB, JSP, and of course all the unix stack underneath and everything worked for ages. Zero bugs. Super-high uptime.
After the "new blood" arrived, bugs started coming in dozens, one of those coders does not know what an "inode" is. LMAO, Univ of Athens. I dont know why Athens+Piraeus has to have 5 Univs with 5 depts of informatics when in reality only 2 in Athens and 1 in Pireaus have any quality.

But you know whats the problem? The domain & web hosting providers themselves. I recently did some small website project of my own. I initially planned to use JSP to boost my webpages BUT one large American provider cancelled support for basic accounts for Java technologies for all domains bought after a certain date, and now you can only upgrade your account for a fee to enable the technologies (which I simply didn't plan to do) So I had to go to with a PHP based framework and some raw javascript, jquery and AJAX. The last three components turned into complete hell when it comes to debugging, modularity and code management - completely break all 4 principles of OOP.
By the way, I'm completely not surprised how some fresh under/post-graduates never heard of "inode" because I've noticed greater ignorance when it comes to far more simple concepts of operating systems than a file system *NIX-family specific data structures, like public vs private IP address, broadcast address OR the failure to understand the logic behind subnet masking.

OR the failure to understand the logic behind subnet masking.
maybe because they didn't take digital design, computer organization and computer architecture during their undergrad studies ?

I don't know that, but I remember a piece of code (a method in a class in fact) that was suppose to determine broadcast address and it looked something like this (in C++): std::string some_networking_class::determine_broadcast_address(uint32_t address_, uint32_t mask_) { std::string address = convert_to_string(address_); std::string broadcast_address = address.substr(0, address.find_last_of(".")) + ".255"; return broadcast_address; }

Update: Having spent a couple of weeks figuring out various javascript libraries such as createjs, slick, chartjs, featurejs, jquery and loadingbarjs, alongside with two PHP frameworks and AJAX I can confirm that modern web development is suited for lawyers. That said I think I became a qualified lawyer.

a good engineer can become anything. Perhaps, but I can't imagine myself in any kind of field/profession that requires working with plenty of people. I already feel overwhelmed by interaction with my small team.
