Should you write a website using Delphi?

Over the years I've written various websites some of which used Delphi to publish the pages. This method used HTML templates, JS and CSS files and the data from the database to stitched them together to produce the pages. The question is if I was to write a website from scratch would I still use this method or would I look at using a Javascript framework like ReactJS, Angular or Svelte? 

I'm sure the answer to this question would depend on the spec for the website, but here are some advantages and disadvantages of writing a website using Delphi.

Advantages:

• If you have existing applications written in Delphi you can use existing code like common functions, classes and units that relate to your business, so there is no need to rewrite code in another language.
• Time to develop the site could be shorter than using a framework like ReactJS, especially if you need to learn a new language.
• Possible to implement JS libraries like Bootstrap.
• Have front and backend code in the same project. Have a single service that is responsible for retrieving data from the database then using that data to produce the front end page.

Disadvantages:

• You still have to write code in HTML, JS and CSS.
• Compared to popular web development languages, Delphi lacks a vibrant ecosystem of web-specific tools, libraries, and frameworks.
• Testing changes while developing is slow compared to other languages like ReactJS, which automatically refreshes the page you are viewing when you save a change.
• Modern web development frameworks often come with built-in security measures (e.g., CSRF protection, SQL injection prevention). In Delphi, many of these must be implemented manually, increasing the risk of vulnerabilities.
• Delphi's future as a web development platform is uncertain compared to the robust growth of modern web development languages.
• Difficult to find Delphi developers, especially ones with web site development experience.
• A lack of beginner-friendly tutorials, guides, and resources for web development in Delphi can make onboarding new developers more difficult.

In Conclusion:

While Delphi has its strengths, its disadvantages for web development primarily revolve around the lack of modern web development focus, limited developer availability, higher costs, and the complexity of implementing web-specific features. For teams already invested in Delphi or needing tight integration with Delphi-based systems, it can be a viable option, but for new projects or those targeting modern web standards, other technologies may be more practical.
