It's truly the most productive way to build a GUI desktop application, and makes it extremely easy to build powerful console apps. How does the experience compare to C#, .NET Core, and Visual Studio?

Very closely. The original architect of Turbo Pascal is Anders Hejlsberg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Hejlsberg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Hejlsberg), who also was recruited to Microsoft directly by Bill Gates. Anders went on to architect J++, the .NET Framework and C#, and TypeScript. C# is heavily influenced by Turbo Pascal / Delphi because they have the same original architect. And Lazarus + FPC are open-source implementations of the Delphi 7 IDE + Object-Pascal language (same as Delphi). If you are at home in Visual Studio, using Lazarus will feel very familiar. Object-Pascal is easy to learn. A great site to bookmark when learning Delphi or Lazarus + FPC is: http://www.delphibasics.co.uk/ http://www.delphibasics.co.uk/
