SW Development: Visual Studio vs. Rider (IDE, TOOLS)

An article by the great and not late Mr. Peres (which you might have heard about before):
https://stackify.com/visual-studio-rider/

Citando:
"In the beginning there was Visual Studio. For many years, it was essentially the only tool that offered a comprehensive IDE with useful functionality that could be used for enterprise-level .NET development. Other tools existed, of course, but they were generally no match for Visual Studio.

In recent years, this landscape has somewhat changed: we now have Visual Studio Code, MonoDevelop, SharpDevelop and, more recently, JetBrains Rider. Not all of these are free or open source, and, in general, this shows up in the quality of the tool or the features it offers. This is not to say that open source does not offer high quality stuff – I have been an advocate of NHibernate for years – but only that companies that can spend money in having full time developers working on something usually benefit from that."

TOOL: Free Pascal (compliler) and Lazarus (IDE)

Free Pascal is still being used actively to teach programming skills to youngsters, I have recently learned. It is free as the name implies and includes a text-based IDE (for those who remember what that was:  Borland Turbo Pascal).

For download and documentation see:

• Free Pascal documentation index: https://www.freepascal.org/docs.var
• If interested also make sure to read about Lazarus (a free GUI-based IDE): http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Documentation
• ... and Virtual Pascal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Pascal

Turbo Pascal is nowadays freely downloadable in the Embarcadero site (which bought Borland) and still releases Delphi (an evolution of the Turbo Pascal IDE and the Object Pascal language for Graphical User Interfaces:

• http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/20792  
• "Freeware release: Borland released several versions of Turbo Pascal as freeware after they became "antique software" (abandonware) in 2002. The newest released international version was TP 5.5, while the newer French TP 7.01 was also released as freeware.The downloads are still available on the successor website of Embarcadero Technologies."
