New FPC IDE

[marcov]

Sounds interesting. However I am also intrigued how this line will be debugged:

Code: [Select]

mBuffer:=mData.load(['first','second','third']).sort(smAscending).toBuffer()

That's what I thought too, but there is probably a reason why the article writes them on separate lines.  I hope for qdos is that he tested on multiple targets with multiple compilers to see if they (and the debugger) actually allow this.

I always welcome new efforts, and I use which IDE is best to my liking for particular job (when I have a choice). I use Delphi (rarely for new projects I must admit), Lazarus, Typhon, fpGUI, and Notepad++ for PC development (Win/Lin/x86/x64/ARM),

I worry a bit about fragmentation. The Pascal community isn't exactly knee-deep into able developers. But I already felt this way with Typhon and Sparta. Short term vision over long term vision.

From the great book of aphorisms:

Maybe, just maybe, somebody can have a different vision and that vision can even be right.

Trying to herd cats is not productive. Creating an environment where cats like to work together is.

I could cite that probably each employee of the Tower of Babel also thought he was right, but these kind of banalities are not productive, so instead I'll post a link to a cartoon.

But do you really think banalities like "Short term vision over long term vision." ARE productive (it sounds like "my way or the highway" to me, actually)? If so, never mind - we obviously disagree. If not, never mind either, not much point in diverting this thread yet again.

PS: Yes, that cartoon is always nice.

No, just voicing an opinion. Didn't know it was forbidden to add minor critique points and that one is forced to pay mindless lipservice to "the more the better".

My project will be a separate IDE and framework for PFC.

So the million $ question is When the hell are you releasing this killer IDE for FPC? It is already 2017 now!!!!

Just in case that you don't know: the killer IDE for FPC has been there for a long time, it is named Lazarus.

Yes. What is old fashioned about this (docked setting) fully crossplatform IDE running on a lowly arm-linux:
