Once upon a time there were Delphi Haters and their list of vendors who stopped supporting Delphi

Cemetery of Delphi Vendors who stopped supporting
I found Delphi Haters' Blog. Vendors who stopped supporting Delphi with date: Saturday, July 24, 2010
The fact is that Delphi/Object Pascal is in 8th position on tiobe.com TOP10 list of programming languages for November 2025 and the fact is encouraging.
There is fresh, the almost exact copy of origin list of vendors who stopped supporting Delphi I made a copy of these lists for myself and deleted the duplicates in them.
As for me, this is not a Delphi Vendors Cemetery, but an expanded window of opportunity and an experience that can be borrowed.

I look for information about them in search engines.
