Ah, sweet Delphi ... To this day, it remains the best visual development environment that I have experienced over 25+ years. Powerful - yet intuitive and simple - UI, blazingly fast compilation speed, rich sets of built-in and third-party visual component libraries. I have started with Turbo Pascal, which was certainly the breakthrough at the time, and have also worked with C++ Builder and a bit with Interbase & Firebird, but spent most of my Borland ecosystem time with Delphi. Recently, looking for potential better (Delphi-like) alternatives to modern convoluted world of Web development, I have explored Lazarus and several related projects, but none of them seems to provide the same comprehensive-yet-intuitive solution (backed by a solid company) that Delphi has done in the desktop development world. Perhaps, some good relevant projects will emerge in the future, but, until then, I will focus on mastering one of the "standard" modern Web development stacks (e.g., TypeScript + Vue) as well as exploring quite promising Blazor and, generally, WebAssembly technologies.
