mORMot2 VS task-organizer

This article reads more like an ad for mORMot 2 than Pascal. I've been out of the Pascal game for a few years, so I had to look up mORMot 2.[0] Apparently Synopse are the maintainers of it.

The article basically compare their CSV/JSON serialising library to Go's standard CSV/JSON libraries. Looking at the Go code, it's pretty clear why it has memory issues, it reads all the lines into a single object (well, `[][]string`) immediately, rather than reading line for line (which takes advantage of the stream).

I am not sure how this is remarkable and impressive for Pascal. They talk about how you don't need to use the `try..finally..Free` routine all the time, but that's only if the object in question is an interface. Interfaces are somehow handled by a reference counter in Object Pascal, so you need to know how to operate on objects vs interfaces, because they act very different. Pascal is full of these quirks.

The most powerful and stable web framework is mORMot, it supports both FPC and Delphi. Here is its version 2 in development: https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2

I use Delphi all the time, IMHO, it's the best tool for Windows desktop app development - concise language, blazing fast compile time, easy UI design, flexible UI framework, all-in-one IDE, and so on. It's joy to me :)

And here is my new desktop software written in Delphi: https://docxmanager.com/

Happy to see Lazarus on the front page.

I have used it for many years. For me it's still the only IDE with a fast compiler that creates native applications for Linux and Windows (and many other OS). And it doesn't require additional runtime libraries to be installed, so just download and run the application.

BTW: I created a Personal Kanban Task Organizer that is automatically built for Linux and Windows. It uses lazbuild in a GitLab CI Docker Container:

https://gitlab.com/moasda/task-organizer

https://gitlab.com/moasda/task-organizer

It has an Outlook integration so I can see my tasks for today in the Outlook calendar.

Runs on Windows and Linux.

Or maybe any other program to sort tasks and manage projects? I found that kanban is very useful for me, because columns may be not only date-based (for example "Idea/Backlog/Create branch/.../Production/...").

I recently found some good kanbans, but each of them is missing something. For example, a very cool https://gitlab.com/moasda/task-organizer/ has in-built search but has no tags. https://github.com/peterhs73/xBan looks very nice and simple but is very slow when columns are >5. Another nice kanban is https://github.com/Lyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/Project_Kanban, but is has no search functions and many other useful things.

Of course, at one night I can drink more coffee and try to fix one of them but maybe you know some other local, fast and easy program? Maybe not very popular.
