I got my start on Drumbeat which later was purchased by macromedia. I miss my spinning 3D text gifs.

  Drumbeat was incredible. VB for the web.

    No web UI component framework has matched the usability of VB. Why haven't we seen a true successor? Microsoft should do a native TypeScriptVB or something.

      I love how xcode's object -> function mapping seems inspired by visual basic / delphi, but actually makes no fucking sense when compared to those tools.

  Indeed, I still have one backend in production built back then with Drumbeat. Its UI was very new and rebuilt/consulted with Alan Cooper of Thunder/Visual Basic/About Face fame.

    Interesting. I remember Alan Cooper. He wore a beret type hat.
