I wouldn’t describe Delphi as low code, it is an IDE. Wikipedia also describes it like this[1] and does not include it in its list of low code development platforms[2].

It was a RAD platform though. From following your links:

> Low-code development platforms trace their roots back to fourth-generation programming language and the rapid application development tools of the 1990s and early 2000s.

> Delphi was originally developed by Borland as a rapid application development tool for Windows as the successor of Turbo Pascal.

It still is, and got a new release last month.

I wouldn’t know, I was like a Borland fan…
