Lazarus is great! While FPC and Lazarus make it very easy and productive to make cross-platform GUI software, people should know that mORMot (https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2) makes it very easy to develop cross-platform web apps.
mORMot has been around for over a decade, the feature-set is very rich and mature, and the development and user forums are also very active - you can easily confirm that by checking the github repo's commit logs and visiting their forum.
mORMot's ORM is quite interesting - it's based on SQLite and supports all other mainstream databases through SQLite's virtual table mechanism.
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
I wrote my own library for that: https://github.com/benibela/internettools
On Windows it is a wrapper around wininet and on Linux around another library Synapse.
The HTTP client is in the directory internet, the HTML/XPath parser in the directory data.
Using Wine sounds perfect
Delphi's VCL is tied to much to the Windows API to work without it.
Even Lazarus implements a lot of Windows API like functions. E.g. you call one of these functions on Linux and it converts it to a corresponding gtk/qt function call: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/blob/mai...
But it is all less reliable because the Lazarus community is much smaller than the Wine community
