I love doing UI programming in Pascal, but I miss sane build systems and package management from other languages when I use Lazarus or Delphi.

If Lazarus were more popular and had a better library ecosystem, I’d probably use it a lot more.

Unfortunately, they seem to have the attitude: we have standard libraries. Any library you need is already bundled with the default install of FPC/Lazarus

For Lazarus at least you can download and install packages from inside the IDE using the Online Package Manager found in the "Package" menu.
