A comment on Lazarus – A Delphi-compatible cross-platform IDE.

Lazarus is awesome because of the speed of the compiler, the fact that it has a GUI that works, and is OPEN SOURCE.

So one wonders WTH is going on with all the other compiled languages that have nothing like this? And no QT is not the answer, we need a built-in good enough GUI! =)

IIRC Delphi compilers are usually single pass and thus really fast

That is correct and it is why all the variables must be declared before the "implementation" section of a unit. The compilation felt instantaneous.
