Shout out for FPC/Lazarus - so underrated, and too often ignored. Like Delphi, but for free. If you want native binary GUI apps for multiple platforms it's great. And I can confirm it works very well indeed on the M1 MacBook Air 8GB base model too (for developing apps; I didn't need to compile the toolchain personally).

Yeah I didn’t have to compile fpc/Lazarus for it to run on M1 (it works just fine), it is just that I wanted to give it a try!
