I recently discovered Remobjects and their development tools. Amongst other things, they create Mercury, with they describe as a modern Visual Basic that can compile for:

- .Net

- JVM

- Android (JDK and NDK)

- iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS

- Windows

- Linux

- WebAssembly

Yes, Remobjects makes some nice tools. I absolutely adore their Oxygene language.

Is there any documentation or tutorial on how to create a cross platform mobile app using any of their languages? The value proposition is great, but I can't find any actual code.

Feels weird to pay for this. I’m definitely spoiled by open source tooling.

With Moonbit and Wolfram Language, it feels like a renaissance of paid programming languages.

Wolfram ie Mathematica language predates VB1. Being commercial was the norm back then, and due to its academia widespread use has remained as such.
