Hey, we even have an excellent news client written in Object Pascal -

Does this nntp client compile with fpc? It's written in delphi, and I've
been unable to find a legitimate copy of delphi even though I've
searched for one for years. Either I'm not looking in the right places,
or nobody is selling one. I'm not interested in paying $1500 for the
delphi replacement, even if it does run on linux.
There's copies on eBay occasionally, although one obviously has to be
careful that it's legitimate and can be registered (if that's still
mandatory).
However the real question is not so much the version of the language and
VCL that's been used, but how many extra libraries etc. have been pulled
in that are either no longer available or aren't going to work with
FPC/Lazarus.
Frankly, I've always found the standard Mozilla family of clients adequate.
