Hello:
By the way, Watching the demo I can see that Lazarus compiles (or
complies and links) very slow compared to codegear. And it is just
"hello world" program.
I have always felt the Lazarus was a little slow, but this demo has
shown it clearly. In codegear, the click run pops a progress message for
an instant and displays the application running, in Lazarus he has to
wait several seconds to see the form running.
Do you have any clue of such a difference of performance?
This is a FAQ since day 1, I think :-)
Delphi works with the compiler in-memory, as a DLL.
Lazarus has an external compiler, and often the compiler even calls an external linker.
This is a price you pay for a cross-platform solution.
It is a very good clue :-).
Besides this, I suppose gdb executable is nice beast as well.
It is an acceptable price. I wish designing webs and writing javascript
for "cross-browser" solution were as cheap. You, lazarus' developers,
have proved that Linux and win32 are more compatible than Firefox and IE.
