Re: [Lazarus] Why lazarus is sorely needed: A plea for stability and backwards compatibility

Yeah, one thing i like with FPC and Lazarus is that there is a strong focus on backwards compatibility. Of course it isn't perfect (with FPC 3 i had to change some of my string code - e.g. i was loading files into strings by setting the length and BlockReading the string directly - but that took

+1 !!! The dream: Write and test a program using in a (partly) RAD way, of course in an Event-programming way, using the Lazarus IDE - say - in Windows. Now just by changing some settings, compile it for - Win32 - Win42 - Win 32 or 64 as a service (hence also running on WIN IOT Core) -
