I convinced the development department in which I worked to use Object Pascal to develop a SCADA application to control electric supply for electrical railways. I pointed out that with Pascal it is possible to implement easy to maintain code. We used Object Pascal for a very short time when Delphi 1 was issued.

As many developers were in our team not every code was optimal and so too slow. So at home I developed my runtime measurement tool, ProDelphi, which I could use not only in the company of my employer but also could be made available to others. My aim always was to make a tool for small money available for hobby programmers and start-up companies to improve the code developed with my favourite programming language.

Since 6 years now I am retired and Delphi is my hobby and no more my profession. I can not stop working with Delphi. I love Delphi, it is the best RAD tool existing. Some users of my application since 20 years now order updates whenever new versions of Delphi are issued. My wife would like to stop my programming work to spent more time for other things. But, as long as I can, I will continue working with Delphi and supporting users to develop fast software.
