Looking at the bhyve management UI and wondering, why would anyone use Free Pascal/Lazarus in 2025 as a FOSS contribution. Does it make sense to strive for job security in this context? Isn't the whole idea to be approachable to many people?

What is wrong with Free Pascal and Lazarus other than that it’s not in fashion? It’s probably the best cross platform RAD GUI builder in existence. It’s also very easy to learn, so it’s not really an issue of “job security” in practice.
