I want something that will bring productivity of Delphi to Web. May be I am old now, but I could have built applications in a weekend in Access or Visual Basic that will take weeks now in latest web stack.

OutSystems, but it isn't cheap.

Right? I was hoping webassembly would bring back some proper gui tools like this to avoid the whole JS/DOM but no luck so far.

Blazor is pretty cool if you are into that kind of stuff. Mind you, you still might need the slightest tiny dash of JS, but depending on your needs, you might be able to get away from JS entirely.

Somewhere its in my list of things to try one day. Maybe an ai agent can help make this happen.

ASP.Net Web Forms still exists, though it is deprecated.

Eh. I admit I just use AI now when I want to quickly build a web app like that. I built a huge content management system in a couple of hours that way.

If you're talking Windows desktop apps like Delphi used to do, then Visual Studio WinForms is still just like that in 2026 and still getting updates.
