Delphi wasn't popular enough for me to learn it in the early 2000s, and it's still not popular enough for me to recommend it in 2023.
Are there opportunities with Delphi? Absolutely. Can someone make a career out of Delphi? Definitely, but you're talking about a very tiny niche across the global technology industry. There's a lot of data online regarding programming language popularity like StackTrends or IEEE that you can look at to understand the potential market for a Delphi Job.
I'd consider Delphi a Top 20 Programming Language at best. If I was a junior level engineer today, I'd likely want to focus on a Top 5 programming language instead - but that's me.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and providing the links. After checking them out, it appears that Delphi IS ranked quite low on the list. :S :S
