Delphi was quite good at Windows application development last time I used it, probably 2010. I'd probably stay away if you ever need to maintain it or hire people to use it. There's value in using a popular language with staying power.

Yes, but it's only really alive due to legacy systems. You don't often see new development done on it, at least in the US. Good luck finding a Delphi developer vs. Java or C#. I think it's still popular in Eastern Europe though. I do love the platform and I used it for probably 13 years, but it's wilting pretty hard today. I would never build anything of substance with it today.
- fuzztester 3y agoI hear now and then that Delphi is still popular in Germany.
