I also have to work with different languages, C++, C#, Visual Basic, Delphi and Prism. Most of the time for me it is easier to work with Delphi.

You shouldn't take this statement as a serious conclusion. I justed wanted to make some kind of advertisement for Delphi. :)

AFAIK the guys from Embarcadero had to rewrite the compiler. This is what I read in one blog.
