Title: Lazarus and FreePascal.
Summary: Lazarus is a cross-platform IDE for Free Pascal. It includes. Free Pascal is a GPL'ed compiler that runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD and others. Free Pascal is designed to be able to understand and compile Object Pascal syntax, which is OOP. Unlike Java which strives to be a write once run anywhere, Lazarus and Free Pascal strives for write once compile anywhere. Since the exact same compiler is available on all of the above platforms it means you don't need to do any recoding to produce identical products for different platforms. Lazarus and Free Pascal are developed by the Lazarus and FreePascal Foundation. The main projects of Lazarus and FreePascal Foundation are:
● Bringing Pascal to the Internet
● Making Lazarus the best UI for programming.
● Bringing Pascal to educational institutions - for students starting at a young age.
