There is Delphi and Lazarus as open-source clone of it
Lazarus can use the Windows API on Windows, gtk/qt on Linux, and carbon/cocoa on Mac.
There is also a custom drawn mode that draws the GUI directly rather than using platform apis. That also runs on Android, but it not maintained anymore, so only up to Android 5 or something
Delphi is supposed to run on Android and iOS.
And Delphi 1 ran on Windows 3.1, so you could have used the same GUI since then
- noonespecial 7y agoThere is Delphi and Lazarus as open-source clone of it Shhh! Ixnay on the Lazarusay. If people find out, I'll lose my magical secret weapon for blasting out little windows gui apps. Seriously though, if you ever find yourself needing a few buttons on a windows desktop that do simple things, Lazarus is amazing for whipping that up in a few minutes and still looking professional.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoAgreed. I'm not a huge fan of Pascal, but it's better than JS and Lazarus makes knocking up a simple GUI trivially easy.
- benibela 7y agoNah, when people find out it is Pascal, they run away. Can't type begin and end, such words are just too long
