How does a language manage to be Turing-complete and at the same time provably secure? (Hint - Turing-complete includes the possibility of a program infinite looping, so at the very least, there's the possibility of a loop causing a DoS attack....) Or did Delphi use some different definition of "secure"?
Valdis, I tend to like Delphi and agree with the guy, but you are 100% correct.
That is because [especially] in the world of security the following words should be banned: all, every, never, etc.
I bet that if you put a backdoor into a program written in Delphi it will no longer be 100% secure, right? That may be a bit of immature nitpicking, but really..
