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.
Do you have a similar comparison for Open Source projects?
The long term success of this project would be cemented if we all keep a
more welcoming attitude to all walks of developers.
Sorry. I try to be more welcome next time or not respond at all.
(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 this file size issue is a serious problem for popular utilities that
will run on anything. 8MB is totally unacceptable. We need a check box
option in the compiler section to strip out all debugging code from LCL and
make our distros tiny.
How long will that take?
A checkbox? Probably one or two releases. Most likely before Lazarus 1.0 (whenever
that is).
