Sneak Attack By Roger?

Delphi was far superior than all other languages of the time, it had all the necessary bullet points to become what is Java now.

Borland really failed on the marketing and sales side, while providing the best tech, they completely missed the importance of having a strong sales team capable of scaling the language inside corporates, which were the driving force back in the days.

I have a lot of good memories of Borland Delphi 4.0 and 5.0 on Windows 95 and later 98/2000.

Very confusing indeed.

There's also Surströmming which is a swedish type of fermented Baltic Sea herring.

I am somewhat confused about this product. I think the Function as a Service approach has really some good advantages on more classic approaches sometimes, but if I want to go that path, what is the advantage to actually use an open source product and maintain the server with all the maintenance required (security updates, platform updates, handling scale, etc...)?

Wouldn't be an out of the box solution provided by AWL Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, etc... a better and more straightforward option on this space?

I am just wondering if I am the only one with this opinion, what is your experience on this topic?
