Agreed!

Anyone who could comment on any sort of support in Lazarus and fcl/lcl for the following would be appreciated:

  - HTTP(S) servers
  - SOAP
  - REST
  - gRPC
  - GraphQL
The closest i've found is this: https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/fpWeb_Tutorial

But it doesn't really have the sort of structure that one would expect from a mature web framework, feels a bit worse than PHP (no automatic (de)serialization of objects, path variable and query parameter expansion, middleware etc.).

Is there anything like Spring/Django/Express.js/ASP.NET Core in the world of Lazarus/FreePascal?

Of course it's unfair to expect that Lazarus would have support for everything out of the box, so are there any external frameworks that are as mature as any of the above?

I've only found the following:

  - https://github.com/fanoframework/fano
  - https://github.com/risoflora/brookfreepascal
And they don't seem quite as mature yet... How have people been doing webdev in Pascal up until now?
