Hello everyone. After many months of work I would like to present the first version of FreeSparta - a programming environment based on Lazarus/Typhon. It is a version dedicated to the Windows OS, with improved quality and layout. FreeSparta is available free of charge and offers “out of box” compilation for Windows (32/64) and Linux (32/64 and ARM for Raspberry Pi) platforms.
https://FreeSparta.comThere are paid commercial plug-ins available that add new functions to the programming environment (Design Tab, Form Smart Editor, Extended Design Time Utils). The paid additions include the Generics.* library known from Delphi (very compatible with it).
I have always felt a lack of certain elements in Lazarus and Typhon and this is an environment brought to a condition I always dreamt about
. I invite anyone interested to support the project - Sparta has still a long way ahead of it. I hope that this project will increase the popularity of FreePascal and will allow the whole community to spread its wings in the near future.
I would like to support Open Source on one hand and at the same time ensure professional commercial support. However, this is impossible without money. I hope that I will not be considered a black sheep. Rather than that, I hope that this is a project on the foundation of which one can build the future and ensure stable financing for FreePascal and Lazarus.
Regards,
Maciej Izak
