Delphi is a programming language that emerged as a modern successor to Pascal, specifically its Object Pascal extension. It is primarily used for creating desktop and mobile applications, with its key strengths being rapid development and ease of working with user interfaces thanks to its visual form designer.
Delphi is known for its efficient compilation into native code, ensuring high application performance. With the VCL (Visual Component Library) and later FMX (FireMonkey) frameworks, it enables easy creation of applications for multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Delphi is popular among developers who value the combination of high productivity, flexibility, and a robust development environment, and it is often used in the corporate sector for building stable, long-term maintainable applications.
I have worked with tools such as Delphi, Object Pascal, and similar mainly in the past. For example, one of my applications for simulating a passenger information system was written in Delphi.
