I have been getting claude to us free pascal/lazarus to write cross-platform (linux qt & gtk, windows and cocoa) apps as well as porting 30-year old abandoned Windows Delphi apps to all three platforms using precisely because I can end up with a small, single binary for distribution after static linking.

I hope that prevalence of AI coding agents might lead to a bit of a revival of RAD tools like lazarus, which seem to me to have a good model for creating cross-platform apps.
