I agree with brnt, while Delphi/Object Pascal seem to be quite popular according to the Tiobe Index,
https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/delphi-object-pascal/, I find it hard to find open-source projects when comparing it with other programming langs. Example:
https://github.com/search?q=Rust 85,885 repository results
https://github.com/search?q=delphi 9,938
https://github.com/search?q=pascal 9,259
Maybe:
* Open source Delphi/Pascal are shared elsewhere?
* Delphi Programmers do not like to showcase or open-source their projects?
* Delphi/Pascal is used to create mainly proprietary software?
Either way, I think that for Free Pascal to prosper in the long term, something should change. Perhaps more open source projects published on Github/Gitlab.
