it's just Object Pascal , which is inferior to Python.
They are quite different languages, you can't compare them in a simple
way.
Delphi is kinda old, so today there are better languages than Delphi
(like D), but when Delphi 2-3 was out, there weren't many other
languages with IDEs at its level, especially for programs with a nice
GUIs plus interfaces with DBMSs.
I have programmed Delphi for years.. and was pretty much forced to
move to python for different reasons.
I would go along best with the description of delphi being "old". It
was great in its time... and had many advancements over others. Still
has some things that I would dearly love in python... like "skinned"
gui applications.
As for porting... don't.
Just rewrite them....
Shouldn't be so hard...
