   Although Anders was the creator of the original TurboPascal compiler that gave birth to Borland, Delphi was more of a collective effort. And Danny Thorpe wasn’t so important at the time, but at later times. AFAIK it was Chuck Jadzewski who was the project leader for Delphi. You should research a little more.

   @AC
   Thanks, I fixed it.

   @Patrick
   Thanks, I added Chuck Jazdzewski but I don’t know of any good interview.

   [creator fight: C vs. C++ vs. Java](http://www.gotw.ca/publications/c_family_interview.htm) (Ritchie/Stroustrup/Gosling) This interview is different from if they had each been given a list of one-line insults of the other two languages, and then had to choose one in turn, in rotation. Mostly.

   You might want to take it up to 50 progamming languages, so you could get some of the ones you missed: APL, Algol, SNOBOL, PL/I, Occam among the old ones and Scala, Eiffel, Boo, Groovy and Factor among the new ones.

   Have you seen this site http://www.microsoft.com/uk/codechronicles/default.mspx
   (needs Silverlight)
   It’s got about 300 languages there and shows the history of code in timeline form.
   (we developed this for Microsoft earlier this year)

   Daniel, I forgot to say: the list is great

   There is a interesting resource by Danny Thorpe about Delphi: a book. It’s out of print, but it’s very interesting because it explain many of the design decisions in the making of Delphi. Oh, it seems to be available again:

   @Phil L

   Thanks for the link. It is very cool. One thing I would like there - the ability to maximize the plug-in window to get a better view.

    Each language has a story and a philosophy and each creator had a motivation, a problem to solve, programming required a lots of knowledge and experience you can get more knowledge and information from this.
