I see that you already work with Delphi (Pascal), but Delphi is an expensive tool. I believe it would be interesting to consider using the free alternative to Delphi, which is the Lazarus IDE with Free Pascal. It’s free, RAD, and open-source. Another excellent free RAD tool is B4A and B4J from Anywhere Software. You can reach out to Erel, the owner and developer of the language; he would certainly appreciate having it on the list.

Hi @FernandoMassa. We’re always happy to add new languages to Exercism. Would you be willing to take on the work of adding it?
There is an existing effort at GitHub - exercism/free-pascal: Exercism exercises in Free Pascal. you could join. So far, two exercises have been implemented.
Good morning (it’s 10 AM here in Brazil). I would love to have the time to take on this responsibility, but unfortunately, I need to focus on finding work. I’ve been a Delphi developer for over 15 years, and I enjoy teaching, but right now, I need to secure a job and am concentrating on improving my skills. It’s a pity because I would love to help and even translate the content into Portuguese and Spanish. If only I could make a living from it!
Actually, FreePascal and Delphi codes are 99% compatible. They only start to diverge when it comes to the specific use of proprietary components. But in general, what compiles in Delphi also compiles in Lazarus.

Bumping this to say if anyone’s interested in taking the lead, I’m willing to contribute my help, having launched two tracks to date. I’m poking my way through Delphi Pascal anyways.
