Delphi still lets you build programs that used to run on Windows 3 with minimal changes, and definitely anything 32-bit.
It's part of the value proposition: the language and libraries are planned for forward compatibility and stability for use ten years in the future, as well as now.
- FpUser 7y agoActually there were some problems (very long procedures I think would be one example). Other then that compatibility shines.
- smush 7y agoTo save others the same DDG search I did -> Delphi is a Pascal language IDE that compiles to native Windows binaries. Apparently there is this thing called Lazarus that is a free version of it?
- FpUser 7y agoFreePascal is language/compiler and Lazarus is an IDE. Lazarus IDE runs on all major platforms and produces native code. Suitable for anything starting from system code and up to complex GUI apps.
