New Prometheus client library for Delphi

[Marco Breveglieri]

Hi everyone!

I just want to let Prometheus mantainers (and any people that may be interested in it) that I have written a new Prometheus client library for Delphi developers and made it available on GitHub here: https://github.com/marcobreveglieri/prometheus-client-delphi

I have built it for some projects on my own, then I talked about Prometheus and its usage with Delphi language in an Italian developer conference (Delphi Day 2022, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bPDl6MP6jo), so I decided to refactor all the code and publish it on GitHub in order to make it freely available to the Delphi community all around the world.

I have just published a blog post with many details about it:

https://blog.breveglieri.it/en/article/2023-03-26-prometheus-delphi-client-released/

(while others are available on the main page of the GitHub repository).

Despite other languages capture the most of the hype, Delphi is still very relevant in the developer community since it is an elegant and readable programming language, also suitable for those who starts programming, and it is widely used in schools and academies and by professional developers (as Delphi nowadays targets not only the Windows platforms, but also Mac OS, iOS, Android and Linux with a single code base, producing real native desktop and mobile applications).

But let's get to the point: is there any path that I could walk to get this client listed in the "Unofficial third-party client libraries" page (https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/clientlibs/) on Prometheus website?

Thanks in advance for any feedback and support about it! :)

Create a PR against the https://github.com/prometheus/docs repo. (The
file in question is
https://github.com/prometheus/docs/blob/main/content/docs/instrumenting/clientlibs.md .)

Thanks for your work on the client library.

Thanks for your support!

I've created a pull request for adding the new client to the unofficial list, hoping having done it right. :)

Prometheus is really a great tool, so it was fun developing this new client library with my favourite language (and it will be more fun to add new features to it).

The documentation about writing client libraries is really well done and it has been a great guidande, too!

Best regards,
