I used to do a fair bit of Delphi (pascal) coding and really liked it. I agree with readable, type-safe and oop, I'm not so sure about modern and truly cross-platform. My .02$.
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.
I honestly didn't know Pascal was still a thing. Last time I saw it, it was in my Dad's Borland Turbo Pascal book 30 years ago.
