Dynamic languages have the edge for web development. Web is nasty, badly/poorly "designed", or more exactly, patched to barely work for app development.
BTW, Synapse is better (IMHO) than Indy. One of the biggest damages of MS (yes I blame MS first) is that turn anything in a monster of complexity, I don't know if trying to mimic Java or as side-effect that a big company like MS can't understand how do lean app development.
Then the management idiots at borland follow MS (like everyone else) and the rest follow both. That is how you get something like Indy and other libraries.
Was WAY LATER with the arrival of python/ruby that that become more popular the idea of simple/good design on libraries.
Some of it is returning back to Delphi, however, because management price Delphi out of the equation of many of his own customers not exist a good ecosystem to rely on.

P.D: Still do good web development in languages with static types is a bit harder (even F# struggle with it); and I'm unsure what language of this family show a great experience here.
