For my 2 cents, keep Lazarus as an independent, native code IDE. We do
instrumentation packages for manufacturing robots, and ?the Web? is simply
not an option. Laz makes us at least 10x more productive than any other
option (and we?ve tried other options - we still maintain code in C++ and C#
using VS and it?s a nightmare compared to the Lazarus environment).
What really scares us is that all the mainstream OSes are becoming so Web
and mobile centric - the way M$ is rumbling I seriously wonder if and how
they?ll support any native development in the not too distant future.
Lazarus, with it?s native abilities for Linux, gives us a clear path out
should M$ abandon manufacturing and the desktop in general - and we are most
appreciative!
We are also using Lazarus for hardware related stuff with no help at
all from the web!
I think this is *the* main advantage of FPC/Lazarus: you can use it for
almost every type of application on any platform (sorry C64 users, we do
not have a solution ... yet ;)).
That is exactly what I give as the reason for using pascal:
I don't think there is any other highlevel language that covers so many
platforms.
The only scalp missing on our belt is the mainframe.
