Lazarus Team

The Lazarus Team maintains Lazarus, a cross-platform RAD environment built on Free Pascal that re-creates the Delphi experience for Windows, macOS, Linux and BSD. Developers open the IDE to design native GUI programs by dropping visual and non-visual components on a form, editing Object Pascal source, compiling with the FPC backend, and producing single-file executables without runtime dependencies. Typical use cases include database front-ends that connect to PostgreSQL, SQLite or Firebird through built-in drivers, scientific utilities that plot data with the TAChart package, small business tools that print reports using LazReport, and open-source games that rely on OpenGL or SDL bindings. The component library covers buttons, grids, tree-views, ribbon bars, HTML viewers, serial ports, web-service clients and REST servers, while the Lazarus Package Manager lets users install third-party grids, spreadsheet engines, barcode generators, or Raspberry Pi GPIO units in minutes. Because the same project opens unchanged on all supported platforms, universities teach algorithm courses with it, hobbyists cross-compile 64-bit Windows utilities from a Linux laptop, and commercial teams share a single codebase between ARM embedded boards and desktop interfaces. All Lazarus Team software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always install the latest stable release, and can be queued for batch installation alongside other applications.
