For my 2 cents, keep Lazarus as an independent, native code IDE. We do
instrumentation packages for manufacturing robots, and the Web is simply not
an option. Laz makes us at least 10x more productive than any other option (and
weve tried other options - we still maintain code in C++ and C# using VS and
its a nightmare compared to the Lazarus environment).
What really scares us is that all the mainstream OSes are becoming so Web and
mobile centric - the way M$ is rumbling I seriously wonder if and how theyll
support any native development in the not too distant future. Lazarus, with
its native abilities for Linux, gives us a clear path out should M$ abandon
manufacturing and the desktop in general - and we are most appreciative!
We are also using Lazarus for hardware related stuff with no help at
all from the web!
I think this is *the* main advantage of FPC/Lazarus: you can use it for
almost every type of application on any platform (sorry C64 users, we do
not have a solution ... yet ;)).
I for one spend 3-4 months every year in my cottage where we only have
mobile Internet and at speeds that vary depending on how many
neighbors are visiting the island all at the same time. In popular
summer weeks speeds go down into low single digit Mbit/s.
May I quote you in discussions :)))? Here in Germany, Sweden is always
taken as an example where even the smallest cottage has internet by fiber.
