Modern Pascal is still in the race (2022)
This article reads more like an ad for mORMot 2 than Pascal. I've been out of the Pascal game for a few years, so I had to look up mORMot 2.[0] Apparently Synopse are the maintainers of it.
The article basically compare their CSV/JSON serialising library to Go's standard CSV/JSON libraries. Looking at the Go code, it's pretty clear why it has memory issues, it reads all the lines into a single object (well, `[][]string`) immediately, rather than reading line for line (which takes advantage of the stream).
I am not sure how this is remarkable and impressive for Pascal. They talk about how you don't need to use the `try..finally..Free` routine all the time, but that's only if the object in question is an interface. Interfaces are somehow handled by a reference counter in Object Pascal, so you need to know how to operate on objects vs interfaces, because they act very different. Pascal is full of these quirks.

Lazarus – Professional Free Pascal Rad IDE
Lazarus is great! While FPC and Lazarus make it very easy and productive to make cross-platform GUI software, people should know that mORMot (https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2) makes it very easy to develop cross-platform web apps.
mORMot has been around for over a decade, the feature-set is very rich and mature, and the development and user forums are also very active - you can easily confirm that by checking the github repo's commit logs and visiting their forum.
mORMot's ORM is quite interesting - it's based on SQLite and supports all other mainstream databases through SQLite's virtual table mechanism.

Turbo Pascal: A Great Choice for Programming Under CP/M (2013)
The most powerful and stable web framework is mORMot, it supports both FPC and Delphi. Here is its version 2 in development: https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2
I use Delphi all the time, IMHO, it's the best tool for Windows desktop app development - concise language, blazing fast compile time, easy UI design, flexible UI framework, all-in-one IDE, and so on. It's joy to me :)
And here is my new desktop software written in Delphi: https://docxmanager.com/
