Re: [Lazarus] Running FPC in the browser...
How big is the difference in performance? I guess it is very big. Ten-fold maybe? You are right, for teaching programming this is a perfect tool. Juha -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
[Lazarus] Running FPC in the browser...
Hello, Thanks to the efforts of Nikolay Nikolov, the FPC compiler can now recompile itself to webassembly (the support for the goto statement made this possible). As a consequence, this means FPC can now be run in a browser. See the screenshot at https://wiki.freepascal.org/WebAssembly#Running_in_Web_Browsers There are still some steps to do before FPC will actually compile and link a program, but this is in the works as well. If you think this is just a cute geeky achievement, it is not. Think about the possibilities: being able to work without the need for an installation. Just go to a webpage and start developing as you would on your desktop. For teaching programming, a teacher does not need to provide anything except a browser and still have all the possibilities he would have when using a desktop. No heavy server infrastructure is needed, everything happens in the browser. No doubt, other possibilities will come to mind. Stay tuned for more goodies from the FPC team :-) Michael. -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
