DEVELOPER EDITOR FOR MAC FULL
Atom is more of an editor than a full development environment, is focused on customization (or hack-ability), and is extremely fast. īelow is a screenshot of some Delphi code on my Mac in Visual Studio Code.Īnother very interesting open source and cross platform editor is Atom, which is backed by GitHub.

The simpler Language Pascal plugin offers only core features and is available at.The OmniPascal plugin is available at and more information is available on the project web site at The main limitation is that all of the features beyond syntax highlighting currently work only on Windows (and they also don't support fhe full Delphi Object Pascal language).The main Visual Studio Code page is at /.Being backed by Microsoft, makes this project highly visible.
DEVELOPER EDITOR FOR MAC MAC OS X
While not a replacement of Visual Studio for C# development, it works pretty well on Mac OS X and has a couple of Object Pascal language extensions (among many others). Visual Studio Code is a very interesting project, mainly oriented to development with scripting languages and web technologies, but with capabilities that go well beyond those of an editor. Microsoft entrance into the area of cross platform hosted development tools made a significant splash last year. And before you ask, Embarcadero is not currently officially endorsing any of these solutions, but we are looking into this area to understand how valuable this would be for Delphi (and C++) developers. Here are some notes about my experiments with Object Pascal enabled editors on the Mac.Īs a side note, most of this editors are based on HTML + JavaScript (and variations like TypeScript), but there are some exceptions. Over the last year, there has been an increasing push in the development of source code editors and even full development environments based on portable code and available on multiple platforms, including Mac OS X.
