Sadly Lazarus and Delphi don't get the attention they deserve. Writing even a sophisticated app in either of these platforms is a pleasure.

- dvdkon 5y agoMaybe it's a question of personal taste, but Pascal (in any of its newer forms) isn't a langauge I like working with. Up-front variable declaration, verbose flow control, next to no support for functional programming... LCL is nice, I especially like how small the result is, but in the last ~30 years, programming language design has progressed a lot and Pascal just seems archaic, and not in a good way. Modern PL design isn't just about "syntax sugar" as the FreePascal community would have you believe.
- pkphilip 5y agoYes, it does come down to personal taste and also programming style. Not everyone wants or needs functional programming.
