Awesome work!
Visual Studio @code + Form Designer + OmniPascal:

[José León Serna @joseleonserna]

Thanks to Visual Studio @code and @reactjs I have enjoyed like crazy the last year working on a project. Let me introduce you the first (AFAIK) Visual Form Designer for Visual Studio Code! #vscode @TMSsoftwareNews

[OmniPascal @OmniPascal]

@pak_lebah Yes, OmniPascal is alive! I'm just very busy lately and won't be able to release an update soon.
At least I can say the next version will support with-statements.

[OmniPascal @OmniPascal]

Just released hotfix version 0.17.1
OmniPascal will run as expected on Mac and Linux with VSCode's latest release.

[Dalija Prasnikar @dalijap]

The best current workaround - VS @code + @OmniPascal plugin https://t.co/BBHXiOnOOX

[OmniPascal @OmniPascal]

@dalijap @code Good choice! Not only as a workaround 😉

[Alessandro Fragnani @alefragnani]

I just released a Formatter extension for @code, extracted from my #pascal extension. Now also supporting @OmniPascal. Give it a try :-) https://t.co/bxaUFczXQG

[OmniPascal @OmniPascal]

OmniPascal 0.17.0 released just now! It's coming with support for type helpers, inherited keyword and inline variables.

[OmniPascal @OmniPascal]

#Delphi 10.3 will finally support inline variables. You will be able to enjoy them as well in Visual Studio @Code with #OmniPascal later this month!

[OmniPascal @OmniPascal]

@pak_lebah Next release will work much better with these files. Thanks for reporting!

[OmniPascal @OmniPascal]

Awesome work by Jose Leon! Who else would love to use Visual Studio @Code + OmniPascal + Delphi's FormDesigner in the same window?

Minor update released (0.16.1):
Appearance of snippets in code completion changed in the latest version of Visual Studio @Code. This causes snippets with a dot in their prefix-sections to get listed when you type "obj." (very annoying)
Bugfix: Removed dots from standard-snippets

[OmniPascal @OmniPascal]

Finally a new version!
OmniPascal 0.16.0 – Auto uses and auto declarations

@pak_lebah There is news coming. Very soon.

To #FreePascal and @VisualStudio @Code users on #Apple's #Mac out there, here's my #VSCode settings to write #Pascal programs. You need both @OmniPascal and #LLDB debugger extensions installed. Enjoy! 😊 cc @freepascaldev https://t.co/Iew65pfy8y

[Mʀ Bee @pak_lebah]

Just got an update from Aaron's #VisualStudio @code #BetterComments extension for support of #pascal files. Thank you! #FreePascal in #VSCode for #Mac is getting awesome! 😊 cc @OmniPascal @freepascaldev

[Dalija Prasnikar @dalijap]

Don't mix objects and interfaces in classic Delphi explained
1. object references are weak, interface references are strong
2. ref counted object instances need at least one strong reference to keep them alive therefore you can't use object reference as primary owning reference

[Free Pascal Team @freepascaldev]

We are investigating the possibility to move from Subversion to Git. Would such a migration ease your way with Free Pascal? (Think pull requests instead of sending patches, quicker feature branches, @github, etc.)
