We've been in the Delphi/FP/Lazarus 3rd party tools market for 17 years, and are still going strong. Yes, it's become less-used over the years, but it doesn't have anything to do with the language not being up-to-date. It more has been due to issues with Delphi's parent company and pricing. We wrote 2 database engines and a web development IDE using Delphi (compiles Object Pascal to JS). You can use it for just about anything: low-level, high-level, servers, games, LOB applications, mobile, and you can't beat it for code structure. It's highly readable and maintainable, and the compilers/libraries/runtimes are very backwards-compatible, so you can be assured that your coding investment will continue to produce returns for many years. You'd be surprised how many LOB applications are out there that are written in Object Pascal.
