Gambas doesn't support Mac unfortunately. If I want a quick way to write cross platform GUI apps, nothing beats FPC/Lazarus.

+1

FPC/Lazarus is to Delphi what Gambas is to Visual Basic.

Also worth mentioning FPCUpDeluxe, which eases the installation of FPC+Lazarus and other components. https://wiki.freepascal.org/fpcupdeluxe

Xojo can also fit this niche. Same basic like language.

For three years now Xojo has said "Android support coming soon". Doesn't build much faith that it's actively supported.
