I quit programming VB 12 years ago after using it for two years. I still vividly remember its syntax, patterns, forms, adodb/dao stuff. It's as if I never stopped coding in it. I've been into many languages since, ending lately with Golang. Nothing felt so easy and accessible as VB. Happy 25th birthday, dear Visual Basic.

- nedsma 10y agoThanks for the kind reminder. At the same time when the VB was a popular tool, I looked for similar platforms on Linux. Gambas provided very familiar, if not identical syntax, however its Forms editor wasn't as nearly as powerful as VB's. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that Gambas is still around, will certainly play with it.
