Why FreePascal over Qt for cross platform gui applications?
I had a contract doing C++/qt stuff 2015/2016. So I could conjure up my own reasons for and against. But I am curious about yours as I am largely ignorant of pascal.
- i_feel_great 10y agoYou might like to look at Lazarus, the gui builder that comes with FreePascal. Everything is done in Pascal - no XML etc. It is good-looking and my own experiments with it shows that it is very productive.
- therealmarv 10y agoI know C++/qt and I don't like the experience when compared to good old Delphi and VCL days (just my personal opinion). The workflow and behaviour in RAD (rapid application development) with VCL Delphi components was quicker and more intuitive and I had to write less code manually than with QT. Call me crazy but I had the feeling QT is much more verbose and unnecessary complicated compared to Delphi VCL programming. I just want to figure out how good Lazarus/FreePascal is nowadays for some pet project.
