Javascript is morphing into a universal assembly language / portable intermediate language for web-based needs. It’s also used on an increasing number of back-end services. It’s not exclusively for Ajax any more.
I use something called TMS WEB Core that uses the pas2js transpiler to compile Delphi/Object Pascal into js that lets you build web apps within the Delphi IDE written in Object Pascal, and it runs inside the web browser. They had to add some (very welcome) tweaks to the OP language to deal with async issues, but it’s really cool and very easy to work with. I can’t say if Delphi itself is growing, but it works with FreePascal and Lazarus as well.
They have a new feature in beta that provides a full live HTML editor within the Delph IDE that will make it a LOT easier to do fully responsive UI design using HTML4 and CSS.
