You have major open source libraries like GTK, wxWidgets, Qt.
Also .NET, Java which offer multiple ways of doing forms that are tied to the target platform.
In addition, RealBasic (now Xojo) and... Delphi.
After Borland, other companies continued working with Delphi, namely, Embarcadero: https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi
Now, the prices can be a bit prohibitive. I would try one of the open source ones.
- insertnickname 10y agoNote that Vala is apparently more or less dead.
- pjmlp 10y agoYep, GNOME seems to be adopting Rust, with librsvg and GNOME Builder being the first places to spot it.
- partycoder 10y agoAwesome. I will take a look at it, it seems I haven't kept up with the times. From what I see, it comes with a profiler, which is an excellent addition and the UI seems to be very similar to XCode.

- mindcrash 10y agoAfter Borland, other companies continued working with Delphi, namely, Embarcadero You mean after Borland destroyed themselves with a over-the-top business strategy Embarcadero could swoop in and buy several Borland assets and trademarks (Delphi, C++ Builder, Interbase) rather cheaply. Most of the people I knew who worked with Delphi moved on to .NET and Visual Studio. Main reason being that working with Windows Forms or WPF and the .NET BCL in combination with C# is pretty similar to working with the VCL and Object Pascal. Common factor being Anders Hejlsberg [0]; one of the biggest drivers behind both the Delphi and .NET ecosystem.
