Lazarus/FreePascal are AMAZING, so much better than all the subpar web/GUI development tools we have nowadays that require thousand of employees to have a chat app running (slack, twitter, etc) because humanity have a tendency to forget the past and reinvent the wheel every 60 years. Every young dev think they are smarter and can do better tan those who preceeded him and that's how you end up with thousand of unnecessary text editors and the mess of web dev tooling and frameworks. In fact is a business advantage I much rather keep it niche and not poisoned by hype machine. Keep thinking is a dead language.

Learned Delphi in 2003...it never clicked for me and went to C/C++, python, fortran, web (HTML, CSS, JS, frameworks) you name it, instead. And after many years, in 2022 I've rediscovered Lazarus/FPC and is like a revelation to me. Instant click, instant match to my development style and made me a 10X developer overnight in it. I feel the joy of programming again.
