I haven't used Borland's stuff (Turbo Pascal, Turbo C++, TP-Windows, Debugger) since the early 90s. I bought a copy of Delphi around 96, but never really used it, as my late 90s job was more off in the unix side of things by then (Linux at home, but IRIX/AIX at work).
No employer wants Borland's languages now. I suspect Kotlin will suffer the same fate.
When I first started doing ANSI C work in the early 90s (several platforms, including non POSIX), it was helpful to be able to use Turbo C[++] / Turbo Debugger to work on an otherwise standardized language. That seems to be what JetBrains is doing best, now.
