<div>I also have very recently just started looking at Lazarus again - but not sure yet. I also am not sure about inheritance issues but do not know enough.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Had a few stability issues with exes while in debug mode. Even just using the openpicture dialog.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It could possibly be a good adjunct to use along with Delphi on a need to basis. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Use each one for what they do best.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I **really like the cross platform compilation of Lazarus</div>
<div> </div>
<div>With the spread of Ubuntu into unexpected places especially being run in VMs (doesn;t always show in statistics then) and all the other places LAzarus recompiles, it is becoming attractive to us.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It may actaully not be an either/or situation. I.e not necessarily Delphi vs Lazarus.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There may be things that Delphi will always do better, and there may be things with its growing maturity from when I last looked at it - that Lazarus does really well too.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As with both distributions, help information is a major issue.</div>
<div>Lazarus has improved though from when I last looked.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>More the question is, how much should we donate if we are going to use Lazarus?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm also very very taken with Python, and coming into it now can by pass some of the ver 2.0 vs ver 3.0 debate. Really good philosphy in ver 3.0 over the unicode and encoding issues over all, that has bothered me in php sometimes.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Richard, you once said you liked Python, what's your take on it currently?</div>
