Hi everyone
I've been using delphi 4, 5, 6 for years, and only recently discovered Lazarus.
I will definitely use it.
It seems to me that this is a major package, but it has (to my mind) zero
prominence on the web. I may have missed something, but here is why:
1. There is no mention of it on the Free Pascal page
2. When one eventually finds a link to it, this link goes straight to a forum
page.
(Which says to me: 'you need to be an expert to be here' )
3. No obvious 'getting started' example.
4. No info on how many users, downloads, use on projects (i.e no Advert)
Surely Lazarus is one of the major tools of Free Pascal? Personally - just to
be controversial - I would say that Free Pascal is a major part of the Lazarus
project, in the sense that a great IDE, with possibility of multi-platform
execution, and the hiding-away of much of the GUI coding, is the big deal.
(By 'hiding-away', I'm referring to the clunky connections to GUI toolkits that
one sees in Python and Ruby.)
Best wishes (you have my support)
Mike Parr
