Plugin suggestion - Valley/ModulR/others - is this possible?

Seriously now.
I was a Delphi man before I went to Uni. There was a UI course that we did that used Delphi (piece of piss) and I was horrified when the lecturer told me that in the big real world, folk would use Delphi to throw together a working prototype of whatever they were working on.
Then once they had something they liked they'd scrap the lot and do it from the ground up in C++!!!!
Nutters! If it's a win32 project there is f**k all wrong with the Delphi compiler. f**king masochists.
Hey I'm one to talk! I've got to roll my own drag'n'drop for the StepChild mac port.

I'm using delphi because (a) it's free (personal edition), and (b) basing projects off of tobybear's template makes things easy easy easy. And handling the GUI is easy easy easy. Did I forget to mention that delphi is easy? Then again, I'm an old pascal head from back in the day. I think I still have my TurboPascal 1.0 disks along with some strange UCSD Pascal compiler.

I *may* still have my TP1.0 disks somewhere (not sure, I may have had to send the disk in to get TP2.0?), although I don't have any machines with 5.25" disk drives any more.

UCSD Pascal?! Geez, someone that's been doing computers as long as I have! The CSIS dept at YSU (where I work) may still have manuals stashed in a box, I remember eyeballing the bootstrap/porting book and getting a headache.

Interesting enough, my "language of choice" at the moment is perl, although I doubt we'll ever see a VSTI that can talk to it... I've heard of VSTI that can talk python somewhere, though... guess that's the next language on my list. Perhaps I can make netrexx work with jvst?
