I offer you all this. The #1 reason why Microsoft Windows (3 and up) took
off and became so popular was Visual Basic for idiots and Turbo Pascal /
Delphi for the coders between C++ and VB.
The long term success of this project would be cemented if we all keep a
more welcoming attitude to all walks of developers.
(VB, Delphi, and C++) types should be able to utilize Lazarus in the years
to come. Lazarus should even have an "Express" edition with more powerful
features not even available.
IMO Lazarus has serious potential to rival that of Java. It just needs more
time and backing.
I agree. Obviously the Lazarus project needs people to contribute, but without
new users getting interested, there would just be the developers of Lazarus and
established Delphi people looking for cross platform tools.
Wooing new developers and developers from other languages I believe will pay
handsome dividends to the project later on as their knowledge and comfort with
the product mature.
