Active blogs about Lazarus and/or FPC

Question

I'm getting really upset with the whole direction that "Emborcadero" is taking and I'm really going to invest in FPC/Lazarus.

Went to the Lazarus Documentation page and found the following blogs:

• Lazarus Development - Up to date
• Adventures of a Newbie - FPC Wiki page
• On the road with Lazarus/Free Pascal - Up to date
• Porting to Lazarus - Last post December 2009
• Living Lazarus - Last post September 2009
• Parallel Pascal Worlds - Up to date

Can someone suggest more resources in terms of Blogs or Twitter accounts to follow?

Answer 1

I just ran into

• FPC and Delphi: toward a "fratricidal war"?

But I don't like the tone. While it is true that the absence of colaboration between FPC and Delphi leads to incompatibilities in the newest features, I think he makes a too big deal out of it.

Moreover, most people that chose for FPC/Lazarus do so because they are needing some real features of FPC/Lazarus that Delphi doesn't provide or plans to provide. It is rarely a one dimensional "Lazarus is free" choice.

• like e.g. native interfacing with OS X, while Embarcadero only prepares a QT port),
• ARM/PowerPC/Sparc support etc.
