+
+Free Pascal is a mature, versatile, open source Pascal compiler.
+It can target many operating systems and processor architectures: Intel x86 (16 and 32 bit), AMD64/x86-64, PowerPC, PowerPC64, SPARC, SPARC64, ARM, AArch64, MIPS, Motorola 68k, AVR, and the JVM.
+Additionally, support for RISC-V (32/64), Xtensa, and Z80 architectures, and for the LLVM compiler infrastructure is available in the development version.
+Also, the Free Pascal team maintains a transpiler for pascal to Javascript called pas2js.
+
+Lazarus is a Delphi compatible cross-platform IDE for Rapid Application Development.
+It has a variety of components ready for use and a graphical form designer to easily create complex graphical user interfaces.
+
+Three years ago, Mikaël Urankar <[email protected]> began porting the Free Pascal compiler to FreeBSD aarch64 and it was merged into Free Pascal source code (main branch).
+Some months ago, I added package:lang/fpc-devel[] (3.3.1) and package:editors/lazarus-devel[] (3.99) to the ports tree only for i386 and amd64 because aarch64 was not ready yet.
+The binaries generated on aarch64 did not run because of ELF issues.
+Finally, some days ago the issues were resolved and support for FreeBSD aarch64 was completed.
+
+package:lang/fpc-devel[] and package:editors/lazarus-devel[] were updated to 3.3.1.20240913 and 3.99.20240913 with support for aarch64 respectively.
+It brings to FreeBSD users a new language and platform working on FreeBSD aarch64 for console, graphic, or any kind of apps development.
+
+TODO
+
+* Update package:fpc/lazarus[] based ports (such as package:sysutils/bhyvemgr[] and package:archivers/peazip[]) to support FreeBSD/aarch64
+* Push FreeBSD RISC-V support
