Object Pascal is a modern, readable, fast, type-safe, cross-platform OOP programming language. It is also easy to pick up.

I am not a Pascal developer, I posted this because I feel like this is a good discussion topic. You don’t need to have the latest and shiniest tech to build things. Sometimes old and proven is the way to go.
While I agree, this might not be true for Delphi as it was heavily tied to Windows GUI elements (of the time), so far as I remember. I built quite a lot with it and loved it, but it probably hasn’t aged well. I have no idea what the last version of Delphi was and which windows generation it was designed for.
You don’t need to depend on Delphi itself. Lazarus https://www.lazarus-ide.org/ would be a compatible replacement.
