Such analysis really provides a distorted picture. There is a fundamental bias to such analysis in that companies hiring people for minority languages are less likely to use very general channels dedicated to mainstream skills.
Many such companies are not just straight business IT anyway, and then also such sites for IT automatons are a bad match.
Hi Marco,
Where do you indicate to search jobs for Object Pascal (Delphi or Lazarus) then?
(maybe you can tell us a little bit more about your company in Netherlands, which I know just the beautiful Amsterdam)
If I see a position about C++ I would never apply, if I'm looking for a Pascal position. My thinking always was: "they are looking for a C++ expert developer, rather anyone that knows another (similar) language".
I'm not sure about Pascal jobs in Brazil, but I guess that might be tiny comparing with the mainstream.
I've been working at the same company (using Delphi 7) for years; I also have my own company consulting/freelancer that works exclusively using Lazarus and DBMS; finally, I've been working remotely for LiveMon which uses FPC too. So, I don't search (much) for new positions, but I would like to see more of them. That may increase the use of Object Pascal.
I'm still thinking that a website only for Pascal positions around the world could be a good idea. What do you, guys, think?
best regards,
