2019-06-29 | Delphi RAD tool (remember that?) gets support for Linux desktop apps – again • The Register
'FmxLinux is a toolchain for compiling Linux desktop applications using Embarcadero’s Linux compiler for Delphi, which is also part of the RAD Studio bundle. '
'Configuring a Delphi application for Linux support is a matter of taking a multi-device project and selecting an “Add Linux platform” option. '
'Cantu said on Twitter that “we’ll consider” Linux support in the community edition, which may make more sense now that desktop applications are included. '
'Linux support is currently a feature of Delphi but not C++Builder, the related product which uses the C++ language. '
'Hands On Texas software house Embarcadero Technologies has said it will license FmxLinux for Delphi, allowing developers to compile desktop applications for 64-bit Linux. '
If you like Delphi's syntax, you'll love Nim. Unlike Delphi, Nim is 100% free open source software, no legal strings attached.
Good code navigation / editing / debugging experience with vscode or vim. Doesn't have a GUI builder yet though, but I think it can leverage things like QML...

Funny I found my Kylix 1.0 Cd's recently and I was throw them in the garbage can or not. I did choose not to because it is something historical.
