About:
Free Pascal is a mature, multi-platform Pascal compiler that supports modern Object Pascal dialects. It can generate code for a wide variety of processor architectures and operating systems. Its main value is providing a high-performance, open-source tool for cross-platform application development using the Pascal language.
Key Features:
  • Multi-architecture and multi-platform support
  • Modern Object Pascal language features
  • High compatibility with Turbo Pascal and Delphi code
  • Integrated assembler and linker
Use Cases:
  • Developing cross-platform desktop applications
  • Porting legacy Pascal and Delphi codebases
  • Creating system-level and embedded software
Alternatives:
  • Delphi – Commercial IDE and compiler from Embarcadero, offering a rich visual designer and VCL framework, but is proprietary and Windows-centric.
  • Lazarus – An IDE built for Free Pascal, providing a Visual Basic-like RAD experience similar to Delphi, often installed alongside the compiler.
