That one and this one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lR5Fzv6DP0I That guy can build some simple apps FAST! It helps that Rebol has built-ins for everything.

Very cool, the examples that he builds are very similar to what I've built when I stated in Delphi (simple chats, word processors, music players) but to course Rebol is much more concise. I wish the controls would look more "native". Currently they look like Windows 3.11. Also... Downloading code over plain HTTP? Not good idea... For people that are interested, here's a free book: http://www.lulu.com/shop/olivier-auv…

The new language Red is 98% Rebol compatible and uses native GUI feel. If only it'll get finished and reach 1.0. Still a bit left on the roadmap.

Sounds good. Would you recommend learning Rebol and then Red or just forget about Rebol and start with Red? Not 1.0 means it's not production ready?

Do not forget also the tremendous effort in the Free Pascal other big IDE https://sourceforge.net/projects/mseide-msegui/ It is a pitty dev pascal didn't catch up or ported to FPC.

Looks interesting. What are its advantages when compared to Lazarus?

Smaller and simpler (written in old Delphi, with some 3rd party packages, so Windows only), nothing else I guess. Lazarus is far superior in every other aspects.

Now someone just needs to clone C++ Builder and we'll be all set. Power of C++ with the simplicity of Delphi.

QT Creator is really nice.

No other RAD claiming IDE has the same RAD capabilities as Lazarus or Delphi (or C++ builder), including QT Creator. Live database connection and manipulation while designing your form and data module? Nah, it doesn't even know what a data module is.

Simply not true. Runs on Unix and windows, built on free pascal.
