I remember Delphi being pretty close back in the day, and it's still around[0] if you're willing to pay for it. Lazarus[1] is another option.

Apart from the underlying language, the experience is pretty close.

Delphi still exists:

> Build Native Apps 5x Faster With One Codebase. For Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux

And it's free if you don't make a lot of money of what you build.

And if you don't need/want to compile to x64 bit

Delphi Community Edition only allows x32 compilation

I downloaded it to try. It's not a huge limitation for most usecases I would imagine.

Do they make an exception for Mac, considering recent macOS no longer supports 32-bit binaries?

Have you tried Lazarus?
