Well, by using delphi your working against the OSS character of ROS, that is, it couldn't be used in the ROS project. There's no OSS Delphi compiler, and there are legal problems with delphi as well (see XPDE). And as last point, afaik Delph isn't crossplatform.
Actually there is Lazarus http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org It is open source and aims to be source compatible with Delphi. It uses Freepascal compiler as backend which makes it quite portable.
