I know it's based on some empirical data, but every time I've looked at a TIOBE index has made absolutely no sense to me.

Delphi/ObjectPascal above both Swift AND ObjC? Sure, that makes sense. If it's 1997.

Delphi is very alive (I'm moderator in a Delphi forum). Think this way: Delphi/FreePascal have almost all the market for a Pascal-alike syntax for them alone.

With the C-family you have a lot of options.

Also: Nothing beat Delphi at doing RAD apps today.

Object Pascal turns up in all kinds of places. WHATWG (https://whatwg.org/) wrote their Wattsi build tool in Pascal:

When I read Assembly Language at 9 I also know I have no clue.
