Correspondent from New York
Your correspondent was looking around which web technologies are considered appropriate for usage and found a PDF entitled "Thoughtworks Technology Radar" (source).
Looking at the radar and PDF file, there is totally no mention of Delphi, Embarcadero or any company related with Delphi/C++ Builder or any Embarcadero products.
There's C# 4.0, Ruby, JRuby and Javascript (as first class language) (page 3, bottom right section) being main contenders to build websites.
I guess those people totally written off Delphi, which is a sign of things to come...

LOL. Thoughtworks;) This is a UNIX shop:). Anyway respect for C# there.
I think they have nothing on the list they can make money with also not Java ... this is normal. Wonder if they would put INTEL into one of their sales papers;).
But... it is crystal clear that you cannot build web sites with Delphi since like... 10 year ago!
(excluding extremely ugly Marco Cantu's site ofc.)
If you're Windows guy, fire up your VS2010, start a MVC project. Done.
If you're Linux guy, fire up your favorite Python IDE (for example), start a Django project. Done.
Anonymous - this is a word. You cannot build websites in Delphi, no one would want this.
Python is cool and underestimated ... especially you have lot's of extensions that allow you to access the OS functions and has good Oracle support.
10 years ago you had more the problem to import a HTML file and somehow display it correctly. This made it enormous unhandy, frankly speaking almost unusable in practice but reverse engineering HTML works now a lot better since XHTML ist standard.

I am not totally certain about the application of JRuby but what is announced is already observable.
Ruby is enormous expressive. What was missing a simple way to host. If JRuby is the answer then this way could emancipate from this very obvious top chef perspective to a more common approach. Has a lot to do with Ruby meta programming.
