Still dealing with some bugs in my infrastructure, none of this is ready yet, but I’m pretty happy with the rate of progress now and things which were missing from the GUI toolkit like typical app layouts are finally starting to be addressed.
The Pascal system is still very barebones, only really implementing enough OOP features to access the GUI but missing many general programming features (only supporting things like simple if & while statements, as well as object oriented features). Nonetheless this is proving significantly easier than hardcoding complex structures in C and significantly less of a headache than C++ or other alternatives.
The Pascal system may be given another name, as it won’t be close to matching Pascal standards any time soon (although it does look & feel like a real Pascal language, most of the features are just to support more modern app development workflows at this point – it won’t be as good as FreePascal at many tasks!).
