And a license that's going to run you at 1700€ the first year and 440€ on renewal. It's spare change for a successful company but I have to wonder if it doesn't

And a license that's going to run you at 1700€ the first year and 440€ on renewal. It's spare change for a successful company but I have to wonder if it doesn't hamper adoption, especially when there's a seemingly obvious free and open source alternative like Lazarus + Free Pascal

  I'm writing a pretty serious app in FreePascal/Lazarus right now that's working out nicely. At some point, the Delphi cost may be justified, but not right now. Plus, the code injection macros in FPC (Delphi doesn't have) are addictive. I haven't tried on MacOS yet, but the transparent compile ability across Windows/Linux for desktop UI is pretty amazing.

    Should probably look at them again - they were painful to get running last time I looked. Edit: It seems the cross platform is still difficult? particularly iOS, at least compared to using Delphi for iOS
