Once a while we get a post where everyone has an excuse to gush about Delphi/Lazarus/Free Pascal etc. in the comments, but no one's quite sure about the iOS story and no one really has the time to check up on it...

To be fair: this app would not have existed on the desktop. Our families don't like to sit at a desk for hours, fighting with imaginary concepts, like we do.

The mobile world brought the masses to computing in a way that desktop never could. Unfortunately, the company with the best intuitions in the space also happened to be the most closed, paranoid, and sociopathic entity in the market.
