I want something that will bring productivity of Delphi to Web. May be I am old now, but I could have built applications in a weekend in Access or Visual Basic that will take weeks now in latest web stack.
- pjmlp 9mo agoOutSystems, but it isn't cheap.
- rr808 9mo agoRight? I was hoping webassembly would bring back some proper gui tools like this to avoid the whole JS/DOM but no luck so far.
- hirvi74 9mo agoBlazor is pretty cool if you are into that kind of stuff. Mind you, you still might need the slightest tiny dash of JS, but depending on your needs, you might be able to get away from JS entirely.
- rr808 9mo agoSomewhere its in my list of things to try one day. Maybe an ai agent can help make this happen.
- NetMageSCW 9mo agoASP.Net Web Forms still exists, though it is deprecated.
- qingcharles 9mo agoEh. I admit I just use AI now when I want to quickly build a web app like that. I built a huge content management system in a couple of hours that way. If you're talking Windows desktop apps like Delphi used to do, then Visual Studio WinForms is still just like that in 2026 and still getting updates.
