Delphi is still the absolute fastest way to create win32 gui applications, and anybody who disagrees has never used it. Lazarus is a pretty sweet solution on Linux (or Codetyphoon, if you want more out of the box components).

What's the relationship between Delphi and Lazarus?

I tried Lazarus recently, but I found the IDE to be slow.

I have not tried the IDE, but I like FreePascal. The compiler is fast and it has great multiplatform and cross-compilation support. In particular for older platforms.

It feels more stable and mature than most other languages. I do not know if there are enough developers keeping it alive, but hopefully it will mostly get bug fixes and ports to new platforms. Better if they do not mess with the language or standard libraries. Those that want a programming language that keeps breaking backwards compatibility every few months have plenty to choose from already.

Is it? What about Autohotkey, or Visual Studio?
