Congratulations!

Pascal/Lazarus/Delphi strike such a nice balance of responsiveness in the development lifecycle.

Thank you. This has been a long time coming, perhaps 20 years in the making. I realize people are moving on to newer languages and frameworks, but there is just something special about older versions of Delphi and now Lazarus that makes it so much easier to write desktop software than most other frameworks. You can just drop components on a form designer, press run, and in a second's time you have a program. Of course there is more to it than that, but with dynamic package support, users can make or use components even faster as they no longer need to rebuild the IDE to install or uninstall native code.

Awesome work. It's great to have a FOSS alternative while (Embarcadero) Delphi gets worse with every new release.

Congratulations on the achievement, and to everyone that made it happen.

Similar to Delphi packages I assume.
