In the last weeks/months, we worked a lot with FPC, especially targeting Linux. In this link, some details about the latest commits, and some reasons why we can't afford to support the Delphi Linux compiler - sadly.

Delphi is still our main IDE, due to its better debugging experience under Windows, but we target to have premium support of FPC, on all platforms, especially Linux.
Now our Open Source mORMot framework offers a strong and efficient solution to write SOA / MVC / ORM applications using FPC and Lazarus, with a wide platform support.
We still like and support Delphi, but mostly as IDE. The framework will for sure continue to work with Delphi, but we wanted to be open and not coupled to a single compiler.

    "...and a lot of smaller enhancements (just search for FPC in the commit timeline), especially tuning the pascal code to better compile and execute under FPC, which can generate very efficient assembly!"

    Yep, the pascal compiler is under the control of guru Florian K. The speed rocks like SpaceX!

    I made the same conclusion about the Delphi Linux compiler, last March.

    Lars Fosdal Yes, it is a sad - but common/good sense - observation.
