Actually, I have used Delphi, wrote tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of lines of it early on in my programming days, many years ago.
Yes, Delphi, the language, which uses a static, strongly typed language, reference counting for memory management, and native ahead-of-time compilation can achieve good performance. That's a shocker. The problem is this isn't what it's intended for, and the standard kit is hardly optimized for it.
