D and Go definitely have more buzz lately, but I wouldn't be surprised if Delphi and Pascal have still had more total usage overall. And there's probably more people (particularly rank-and-file programmers) who have heard of Delphi and Pascal. So that, too, just gets back to whatever their definition of "popularity" is.
