Today is 30 years since Delphi was launched, in February 1995.
Delphi is 30 today! I was at the Moscone Center in San Francisco 30 years ago at the product launch and have been onboard since than. I was looking at what to write, but nothing can compete with the fantastic blog post David I did today:
Over the years, I've done several blog posts with content related to the Delphi launch on February 14th and a lot of related information. The first was this 10th anniversary page:

This is a list of blog posts:

Delphi is 30
Congratulations!
It is a curious coincidence that the current TIOBE Index for February 2025
lists Delphi at position 9 - back as a top 10 player after a long time.
It is pretty volatile though, but a nice gift for the anniversary.

Delphi is 30
Hello Marco
Delphi still Number 10 in TIOBE March 2025.
Even mention Delphi 12 in the comment, but strange to do this on the
same line with Fortran, Ada and COBOL.
As far as I know, Wirth created Pascal after unsuccessful attempt to
improve usability of ALGOL.
32-bit or 64-bit IDE is one thing, but what about native ARM64 support?
MS VS also came out relatively late with this (November 2022).
Will update the "How to" as soon as this happens...
Sample apps for Delphi and CB (with JPEG support) already available.
