There's always Lazarus, a more or less Delphi clone. Being open-source, it's harder for a greedy or incompetent vendor to yank the carpet out from under your org.

I've considered abandoning web-dev for Delphi/Lazarus. The web is a lousy fit for CRUD/GUI. React etc. are Spruce Gooses. (We need a dynamic over-http markup standard, kind of like a friendlier and XML version of QML.)

I’m considering this too. I tried writing some test using react testing library and jest, but in order to debug my test and see actual html that the test was rendering, turns out you either have to log the output or use jest-preview which is in alpha to say the least. Documentation, getting started… all of it is so immature and working half-ways that I can’t help but wonder what are we doing with our lives?
