Learned BASIC on the Sinclair ZX81, then BBC model B. Did a ton of VB6 which was great and then on to VB.NET. Also a lot of Excel VBA.
The ability to knock-up great GUI’s using Visual Studio’s WinForms was extremely valuable, having to develop trading desk applications quickly. Then, Microsoft introduced WPF and that’s where I jumped ship.
VB6 was actually a powerful language, compiler which was highly optimized and rivaled C++ in terms of performance. It was a highly productive language for many.
