If you wanted something similar (cross-platform native code, "traditional" controls, low hardware requirements, fairly rapid development), you could also use Ultimate++ (https://www.ultimatepp.org https://www.ultimatepp.org).
- bloblaw 5y agoUltimate++ is nice, but one of the benefits of Delphi / Lazarus is the use of the Pascal language instead of C++. This can be a point of contention, but I know once I moved from C++ to Object-Pascal, I didn't want to go back.
- Tozen 5y agoYou are not the only one. A lot of people who experienced using both and could freely choose, have gone with Object Pascal. Lots of people think C++ is too "messy" (among other things that could be said). The key point though is that many have to or feel compelled to use C++ because of their job or possible job opportunities. There are jobs for Delphi/Object Pascal, just not as much. Though sometimes being a more limited commodity can be beneficial to various individuals. Additionally, for independents, freelancers, small businesses, or mavericks Object Pascal can be wonderful.
