Java:
void loop() {
while (true) {
try {
return;
} finally {
continue;
}

Delphi:
procedure Loop;

while True do
try
Exit;
finally
Continue;
end;

Delphi Popularity up by 33%
In the TIOBE index, Delphi climbed from position 13 to 11. Rating climbed by 0.51% (July 2007) to 2.011% (July 2008).
Java is on top of the list with 21.345%, so Delphi could beat Java in about 36 years if the annual growth rate stays constant
