About setup on MacOSX: I think it could be easier by having it in Homebrew. Or as a self-contained app bundle. (I found a Homebrew Caskroom Lazarus package. But that seems not up-to-date? Also, maybe it should be in the main Homebrew tree?)
Edit: Maybe actually installing from here is easier: http://www.lazarus-ide.org/index.php?page=downloads
I love modern FreePascal with Lazarus; I wish there were more recent books about it, but it's a wonderful language and IDE. I really hope people here give it a shot.
Although there is plenty of information out there, I am working on making tutorials, guides, a new language reference, and even some lexical diagrams in SVG: http://www.getlazarus.org/learn/language/lexical/
Great diagrams, BTW ! Love the overall very modern look of the website.

The video on the Application Explorer shows a Lazarus IDE 1.7 ?! Great diagrams, BTW ! Love the overall very modern look of the website.
Web development is dominated by dynamic languages, but surprisingly few compiled languages seem to make headway in this space. The Go programming language looks like it might change that, but other compiled languages remain quite niche.
I know many people baulk at the idea of running an "old" compiled language like C or Pascal, but these languages seem (to me) to remain extremely fast and very light on resource usage. Two qualities that feel a bit out of fashion in todays web programming environment.
I installed lazarus (not from this website) two weeks ago and I was annoyed of the multi window (à la GIMP) thing. It seems it has been changed in this particular version ? I wonder, because the IDE in the video of the front page is showing a 1 window IDE.
A question for Pascal programmers: have you used Pascal for web development? And would you recommend it for web development? If so, how did you find its speed of execution? By web app development, I mean code that runs server-side and processes forms, or generates pages dynamically. Web development is dominated by dynamic languages, but surprisingly few compiled languages seem to make headway in this space. The Go pr…

I was really disappointed this wasn't Lazarus Form Recovery back from the dead. What is this project about?
I like Lazarus a lot. I guess I should maybe develop some more GUI tools with it. About setup on MacOSX: I think it could be easier by having it in Homebrew. Or as a self-contained app bundle.

Yes I do, but not as old style PHP or ASP (html pages server side rendered). I use AngularJs for the front end and a CGI/Stand Alone servers written in Lazarus/FPC server side.
