Have you tried FreePascal/Lazarus[0]? It seems like a spiritual successor to Delphi. [0] https://www.lazarus-ide.org/ https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

Yes, I have, thank you. I like both of them (I was a heavy Turbo Pascal user many years earlier, and have used Delphi some, too), and have written some small programs in them (FPC [1]/Laz). (Commented earlier on HN in some relevant thread, about relative binary sizes of a few langs' EXEs, like C, D, Go, FPC, etc., too - FPC's are quite small.) Mean to do more with both over time. [1] I call Free Pascal FPC for short (for Free Pascal Compiler) to distinguish it from the common use of FP to mean Functional Programming). Here's a digital clock I created with Lazarus: Digital Clock created in FreePascal / Lazarus: https://jugad2.blogspot.com/2017/04/digital-clock-created-in-freepascal.html https://jugad2.blogspot.com/2017/04/digital-clock-created-in... Also feel free to check out these other clocks I created earlier, both in Python: A simple alarm clock in Python (command-line) - this one has a good real-life use, see the post for details: https://jugad2.blogspot.in/2013/11/a-simple-alarm-clock-in-python-command.html https://jugad2.blogspot.in/2013/11/a-simple-alarm-clock-in-p...
