RAD for Mac OS X. Are there any?

Question

I wonder if there is any RAD tool for Mac OS X. Something like Delphi for Windows.

Answer 1

Lazarus is an IDE for Free Pascal that runs on Mac OS X (among other platforms). Mandatory screenshot here .

Note. Lazarus supports two sets of widgets (Carbon and QT), the third in Alpha (COCOA), most screenshots will now be in the Carbon port.

Answer 2

What languages ​​are you interested in?

Of course check out Cocoa, Xcode and Interface Builder .

Answer 3

The actual Delphi for Windows, which allows you to compile your Macintosh applications, was promised by Embarcadero (current Delphi owners).

The IDE will be a Windows product, but executables will work on a Mac.

It was supposed to take place this year, but was not ready for the September release of the latest version of Delphi. Most likely, pre-release versions for existing Delphi customers will be available in a few months, but the actual product will probably not be released until September 2011.

Answer 4

Here's the update.

In Delphi XE-2, you can now create and compile your own 32-bit Mac OS X programs.

Answer 5

Delphi Prism XE is a Visual Studio add-on that supports both .NET and Mono. This includes the version of MONO used by the Mac. This is not an ideal solution, and I could not check if it really works, since I do not have a Mac. But I have Prism, and now my .NET environment allows me to write Delphi applications for Mac. Again, too bad, I don’t have a Mac, otherwise I could tell you how good it is !. It seems that the Delphi Prism IDE can also be installed as a standalone compiler with its own IDE on Mac. Again, I have not tested this. I just know that it has this parameter since I saw it during installation.

As Frank Shearar already said that Lazarus is the IDE of Pascal, which will now be the best solution for the Mac.
