Delphi is (used to be) Borland's Pascal based visual development language. Best comparison would be Visual Basic - though the Delphi folks would snarl at that comparison :-). They have a Linux version called Kylix. I have no idea if the components/libraries for Delphi are in any way compatible with Kylix though. Delphi's a very nice language. I switched to VB because at the time the Delphi database access was painfully slow. Haven't looked at it since Version 3 though.
