cgi - Web application in Delphi -


I am evaluating the possibility of writing web applications using Delphi (ISAPI / CGI / ...). I still can not see enough reason to use Delphi instead of "classic" web development framework.

If you have experience in this particular area, please share your comment. Would you recommend Delphi instead of PHP / Rails / ASP / ... Do you know any web applications written in Delphi? (Web service not)

If you use Delphi for web applications, Will get:

  • Working in the great IDE.
  • Use your favorite language (Delphi).
  • If you use intraab, you can create Ajax support and productive without the need of deep knowledge in web or javascript.
  • But Disadvange:

    1. Deployment is not easy, you need to work with ISAPI & amp; IIS, and you rarely meet hosting coppanies who provide ISAPI for you.
    2. Only the Windows platform, (if you use free Pascal you may find other).
    3. No framework, no library for this help you on this side
    4. Very poor document on this side, and most articles are outdated.
    5. Working with WebBroker is not productive compared to other solutions like Aspen. Even if you use intrababe, it is more productive than other solutions, but not flexible, because it is hiding the web side for you.

    BTW, the old web application, based on a new PHP built with Delphi and Intrabb.
