If you really want to keep getting things done today, especially on Windows, and not just learn something new, then stick with Delphi/Lazarus for now.
Every year I keep looking to see if a language will become available that will be able to replace Delphi, and there have been some close candidates, but nothing quite there yet. The close candidates right now are: AOT-compiled C# and Go. If you like the OOP in Object Pascal, then the type handling in Go will probably seem wonky to you, and as far as I know, AOT C# isn't quite ready, but I may be wrong on that front (it's hard to find information on the AOT progress with C#) and someone else can chime in with more information. I cannot understate what a game-changer AOT C# will be on multiple platforms, especially if they can keep the binary size down.
