Hacker News Reader

I remember writing a cgi app in delphi back in the late 90s to emulate our in house excel sheet that priced up a custom computer.

Do you have any suggested reading for what you're suggesting because I'm just about to start a project and as we do a lot of our LOB apps in Delphi this seems useful?

No, I don't have any suggested reading... just a plan of action should it be required. I'm assuming that enough work has been done that it should be possible to build a CRUD application in Pascal, and have it eventually produce working WASM executable code.

I have some existing code in pascal[1]... and it would be helpful for it to run in the browser.... lemme see how bad it is making this happen. It'll take a few days, I think.

Turns out I was able to get something to work in about 2 hours... just after the HN edit window closed. Here's a really small Hello World in Pascal --> WASM --> Web Page you can see the output from, all in a GitHub repo.[1]
