Oxygene “Nougat” is Mac and iOS !
Te Waka o Delphi
– Marc Hoffman has confirmed that “Nougat” is to Mac/iOS as “Cooper” was to Java. Some have speculated that this will be based on Mono, but Oxygene has had Mono covered for some time already, so I strongly doubt that this is the case. Far more likely is that just as ...

Lazarus 1.0 : First[-ish] Impressions
Te Waka o Delphi
– It has been a looong time since I last looked at Lazarus. So long in fact that I don’t remember exactly when it was. Whenever it was I don’t think I ever actually managed to even get it up and running at that point. Certainly I don’t remember much about it if I ever did. [...]

Delphi Haven
