What would it be like to create tools that integrate Delphi with Python (including building Python GUI apps)? How much fun would it be to allow Delphi to execute Python code and call Python libraries, and allow Python to call modules in Delphi and interact with Delphi code…
Vaporwave and synthwave, which combine futurism and nostalgia, have become popular in recent years. We commissioned a Brazilian artist to create a vaporwave aesthetic for RAD Studio, Delphi, and C++Builder. What better way to mark the occasion than with some vaporwave…
