Oh, I read "Delphi" and assumed Pascal! A sign that i'm getting old and kids are naming things :)

I read "Pinecone" and thought it'd be something about an IoT device running on a BL602 board.

yep, same here. i thought pinecone is an algorithm i am not familiar with and expected to read the results of a benchmark in which delphi beats cpp, rust and dlang.

Philippe Kahn is all: "Wut?"

This is just advertorial marketing slop?
