I am a golang programmer myself, but you can't beat GAMBAS it's GUI programming qualities, it is so effortless to make a great quality prototype for a GUI application.

The language is very complete, even for me a as spoiled (having a very complete standard library) golang user.

GAMBAS is fun without being a childish toy, one can make very serious applications with it.



Gambas doesn't support Mac unfortunately. If I want a quick way to write cross platform GUI apps, nothing beats FPC/Lazarus.


+1

FPC/Lazarus is to Delphi what Gambas is to Visual Basic.

Also worth mentioning FPCUpDeluxe, which eases the installation of FPC+Lazarus and other components. https://wiki.freepascal.org/fpcupdeluxe


Xojo can also fit this niche. Same basic like language.


For three years now Xojo has said "Android support coming soon". Doesn't build much faith that it's actively supported.


How does it compare with Lazarus?
