I began using Delphi when it was still owned by Borland, specifically starting with Delphi 5❤️ around the year 1999. Since then, I have been personally programming with it, developing a deep passion and admiration for it.

Delphi has been an exceptional programming environment for creating high-performance and extremely stable desktop applications for the Windows operating system. A significant milestone in my journey was when Embarcadero took over and expanded Delphi's capabilities to support various operating systems❤️ like Windows, macOS, Android, Linux, and iOS. The third leap in my experience was my introduction to uniGUI❤️. Discovering UniGUI was one of the best things that happened in my career, as it allowed me to develop web-based applications with minimal effort. By the way, I am 43 years old.

Might prompt thoughts about age

I'm 55 and started with Turbo Pascal in late '80s. ( My first computer during early '80s was a ZX Spectrum 48K with BASIC)

Then Delphi 5 in late '90s.  Still love Delphi and most of my code is still Delphi though are now also programming in C++.  

Transition from Delphi to C++ is not that difficult.
C++ remains popular amongst data science community because its much faster than Python.

By the way, UniGUI 1.95.0.1583 works perfectly with RAD C++ Builder 12.1  (Windows 64bit target)
There are thousands of C++ developers below 40.
In my opinion, if UniGUI wants to grow, they should focus on the C++ community

I am 62 years old this year, and I first learned Pascal and later started using Delphi. 
Other compilers were also used, but Delphi was used as the default.
I am still working and developing a program that works together with IOT. 
My eldest son and younger daughter-in-law are also programmers. Working as a developer is so enjoyable and happy.
