Compiler

<span style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">Free Pascal is a mature, versatile, open source Pascal compiler. It can target many processor architectures: Intel x86 (16 and 32 bit), AMD64/x86-64, PowerPC, PowerPC64, SPARC, SPARC64, ARM, AArch64, MIPS, Motorola 68k, AVR, and the JVM. Supported operating systems include Windows (16/32/64 bit, CE, and native NT), Linux, Mac OS X/iOS/iPhoneSimulator/Darwin, FreeBSD and other BSD flavors, DOS (16 bit, or 32 bit DPMI), OS/2, AIX, Android, Haiku, Nintendo GBA/DS/Wii, AmigaOS, MorphOS, AROS, Atari TOS, and various embedded platforms. Additionally, support for RISC-V (32/64), Xtensa, and Z80 architectures, and for the LLVM compiler infrastructure is available in the development version. Additionally, the Free Pascal team maintains a transpiler for pascal to Javascript called pas2js.</span>

It includes LCL which is more or less compatible with Delphi's VCL. Free Pascal is a GPL'ed compiler that runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD and&nbsp;</span><a href="https://wiki.freepascal.org/Platform_list" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-family: &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Ubuntu; color: rgb(0, 52, 113); text-decoration-line: none; font-size: 15px;">others</a><span style="font-family: &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Ubuntu; font-size: 15px;">. Free Pascal is designed to be able to understand and compile Delphi syntax, which is OOP. Lazarus is the part of the missing puzzle that will allow you to develop Delphi like programs in all of the above platforms. Unlike Java which strives to be a write once run anywhere, Lazarus and Free Pascal strives for write once compile anywhere. Since the exact same compiler is available on all of the above platforms it means you don't need to do any recoding to produce identical products for different platforms.</span>
