FreePascal / Lazarus. those IDEs are free.
There is also a community edition from Embarcadero of their Rad Studio you can try out.
The rest involves googling a lot, a lot of info out there.

There was a time on HF, maybe 6 years ago, when everybody ripped the same copy of Delphi 7. It was like a cute little secret, because we aren't a warez forum. But yeah dude just use Lazarus. I had a buddy buy the full RAD studio 5 years ago, barely touched the shit. He got into C, C++ and was making a lot more functional applications that he could actually sell.

things have changed a lot. Also, C/C++ is now included in the rad studio and currently the Rad IDE is one of most rapid development ide's out there. You can literally bang out applications a couple of times faster than other languages. 🤝

WOW, i'm happy to see delphi developers out here. I remember this section of the forum even being closed to new posts for a while. ONLY 2012 kids will remember that Delphi had its own section and it was cool. S/o to DdoserX

Sadly it is pretty much dead today.
Everyone thinks free IDEs = awesome language :-)
Delphi has come a long way but its still used as a niche area mainly because of the IDE price.
Apparently Embarcadero is slowly trying to change that with the release of the community edition, I'm guessing they plan to improve that a lot in the coming years.
As far as development goes for paid customers, it's beyond a lot of popular languages these days.

For 12 year old kids like yourself, it is yes.
Might wanna check your brain, that seems dead as well 🤭

Rip, this is the only reason I come to the programming section anymore.
Quality roasting
