I'm happy!
@AvenaCloud
I'm curious what is FUP traffic limit on these. Anybody has any idea? 1TB? 20TB? 100TB? 500TB?
Moscow node seems to be idling, Falkenstein node is busy as f

IBM bx2-2x8. 96$/m.
That's a robbery for 96$ a month
In Brazil not so much.
I can get much better performance dedicated server from Hetzner with that monthly budget but I think they sell not only the VM but the support, reliability, and big brand name.

My first programming language for Windows 95.
The chief architect of Delphi was hired by Microsoft who later came out with Dot Net Framework. No wonder c# is so similar to object pascal.
It's not similar to object pascal by a mile. c# was created several years after java and carried a 'java clone' tag for a while.
C# was created by Anders Hejlsberg, a Danish software engineer, while he was working at Microsoft in the late 1990s. Hejlsberg led the development of C# as part of Microsoft’s .NET initiative, and it was released in 2000. He had previously worked at Borland, where he was the chief architect of Delphi, an object-oriented version of Pascal.
The similarity between C# and Object Pascal (Delphi) stems from Hejlsberg’s influence. As he moved from Borland to Microsoft, he brought with him many ideas from his experience with Delphi, which likely shaped the design of C#. Both languages emphasize strong typing, object-oriented principles, and simplicity, and both were designed to improve developer productivity by making code easy to read and write.
And your source is?
And here's mine
Anders Hejlsberg on C# and .NET
Anders: ... When I first came to Microsoft I worked as the architect of Visual J++ 6.0. Microsoft had shipped version 1.1, which essentially involved slotting a Java compiler into the Visual Studio IDE.
...
So will the Jump to .NET toolkit also be familiar to J++ developers?
Anders: Absolutely, and it is clearly targeted at two groups: people that develop with Java using the Sun class libraries, and people that develop with J++ and the WFC classes.
...
Matt: What were the other inspirations or building blocks of .NET?
Anders: I would say a lot of the VB code that we had and, of course, Java itself served as an inspiration. A lot of customers were using Java and telling us they liked to use it. We have a lot of respect for that platform, no doubt about it.
...
Matt: What was the reasoning behind C#? Why did you feel a need to develop a new language?
Anders: I think there are many reasons. First and foremost, we wanted a product that we could address at our C++ developers that would bring them to that next level of productivity and ease of use. You could argue that what we were really shooting for was the power and expressiveness of C++, but with the ease of use of languages like Visual Basic and Delphi.
...
What we’ve tried to do, going from C++ to C#, is firstly the simplification I talked about earlier, and increased productivity, but also to build a language that supports what I call component oriented programming.
And some Wikipedia
James Gosling, who created the Java programming language in 1994, and Bill Joy, a co-founder of Sun Microsystems, the originator of Java, called C# an "imitation" of Java; Gosling further said that "[C# is] sort of Java with reliability, productivity and security deleted."[26][27] In July 2000, Hejlsberg said that C# is "not a Java clone" and is "much closer to C++" in its design.[28]

I have personally worked both in Delphi as well as C#. I still use c# for SQL CLR as well as SSIS code extension.
Andres Hejlsberg’s experience with Delphi’s object-oriented and event-driven programming model strongly shaped C#. Key concepts from Delphi, like properties, type safety, and a component-based architecture, are echoed in C#. Both languages emphasize ease of use and developer productivity, especially for creating Windows applications.
One notable example is Delphi’s use of properties, a feature that C# also adopted, enabling simplified object attribute handling. Additionally, both languages introduced integrated development environments (IDEs) designed to streamline coding with rapid application development (RAD) tools, improving efficiency and reducing the need for boilerplate code.
He simply says c# was influenced by some concepts from Delphi. It's also in my source. Nothing about "c# being so similar to object pascal". Literally like 1.5 phrases.
Some third-party rant not from interview. All this existed in VB.
Guy has worked on many languages in his life, and last language he worked prior to c# was not Delphi, but Visual J++. C# was based on C++ and Java with some simplifying concepts from VB and Delphi.
This is from some other universe.
I'm done.
SoftLayer Bare Metal compute cx2d $5.158/m
C# for dot net
Object Pascal for dot net
I never leant or worked in Java, but there is no Java for dot net
And same for cpp I presume? So all languages look like object pascal to you?
Here, found you an old lib for JNI x .NET interoperability. See if this java code looks familiar.
