This reads like they have already started previewing it to MVP’s

Once the next beta of Xojo shows up to testers, please try the new feature and learn how to use it.
And by the way, Xojo already has preemptive threads on Android, so watch out!
Back when I used Windows machines, I loved Delphi. Great tool. Too expensive for me now.
As an old pascal programmer I tried delphi but it lost the spirit. Then Java came and I fell in love…
Addon: that was before 2000. I programmed with Turbo Pascal for Dos and C for Unix. When Java came up and Delphi was released I started first tries with Delphi. But it has a crunpy IDE with only 16 Bit support and was platform dependent. Java (released in 1995) what I started learning parallel had the wora concept. And it worked under Dos, Windows, Unix. (Linux was in the beginning at that old times). I released the first Linux Desktop Program for a Server controller I believe 2002 could also be 2000 or 2001.
I started then to refit my Turbo Pascal Stuff to Java what was a brilliant Idea looking back today while a few of this old programs are still existing. Haaaa…old times
Another addon: I was looking in my old stuffs. I started in 1984 in an age of 15 years to program with turbo pascal on CPM. The first MS-DOS PC came under my hands in 1987. 1987 I bought also the first Vax with ULTRIX Unix for programming under Unix with Ascii Terminals and founded my company: Stueker Hard- and Software Development. What a time. Saw many things in the last 40 years. The company is running still until today.
I really liked TurboPascal and it’s nice IDE. But delphi never had this kind of fascination for me. When Xelphi came up (today known as netbeans IDE) in 1999 there was nothing I missed anymore. There was the old fascination and that on all platforms.
Sometimes I tried delphi but it never reached the fascinating TurboPascal times.
I think Delphi is quite nice but too expensive. I remember back in my school days Pascal was teached like C, without nested procedures and incorrect use of semicolon.
True Delphi is kind of expensive.
Did you try out Lazarus and Free Pascal Compiler. They both are open source and free.
I sometimes use a variant called CodeTyphon from Pilot Logic.
just for everybodys information. I’ve recently found an open-source Rewrite of Turbo-Vision, the predessor of Delph for making wonderful TUI windows, buttons and interfaces in DOS:
well and last weekend I enjoyed my nostalgia in spending a 20 MB harddisk drive (still functioning) for my 36 year old Original Schneider Euro-PC from 1988. Felt like yesterday…
P.S. Do not ask for the price, was f* expensive…
Der europc von Schneider. Das waren noch Zeiten
I finally got Lazarus working a few weeks ago, but haven’t played with it much. As far as I know, its not native M1, you have to do some recompiling, which I haven’t done yet.
Code Typon, last I checked and tried, did not work on M1 at all.
The Story of Lazarus is sad while ending slowly. And so it has no native M1 Variant. It will not become modern while they deliver still since a decade the same stuff. I would be careful trusting in this Software. When only private projects: nice. When commercial projects: I would recommend to use one of the avalable professional languages depending on your platform needs.
The state of things:
