Have you evaluated RemObjects Oxygene? The blurb says it integrates with .NET well.

  It had to adopt the .NET object model to do so. At which point you get a language that's mostly C# with Pascal-like syntax. So existing code is not necessarily portable, existing devs still have to relearn, and meanwhile you have reduced your hiring pool even further (as Oxygene is even more exotic than Delphi).

    Right, this was our conclusion as well. C# is close enough to Delphi that relearning for us that are already here is fairly trivial, while really expanding the number of potential applicants. Oxygene would maybe make it a bit easier to write C# for some of us[1], but it's incompatible with Delphi so we'd have to rewrite code anyway. Just doesn't make sense. If you're starting from scratch with a small Delphi team and want to target iOS and such alongside Windows, then yeah I'd consider it. [1]: not me, I wrote C# back in the 1.1 days and feel right at home
