Written in Delphi. I might be wrong but I don't see many people downloading and working on it. 30 day free trial and then you have to pay for the development environment. IMHO it's a non starter for an open source project but if it's the only language the author is comfortable with, well that's OK.

Originally it was written in Delphi. But I now use FreePascal for the development. I'm even compiling both Windows and Linux versions on my Linux machine.

It appears to now have moved over to FreePascal, which is the free Open Source delphi look-a-like.
