I see the VB spirit coming back with projects like streamlit. Super easy to prototype simple things, logical order of processing. Really reminds me of the good old BASIC. No function definitions, no classes, no callbacks.

- analog31 5y agoThere was a time when VB came in two flavors. I believe VB5 was this way: The regular version that most of us bought allowed us to use classes, but not to create them. I know for myself, this enabled me to ease my way into OOP, because I could experience the benefits without any of the major pitfalls. If you wanted to create classes, you had to buy or download an extra package, that I never bothered with. I was basically a procedural programmer who could use classes supplied to me by somebody else. Turning VB into a full blown professional development language akin to C# was, in my view, a mistake. It kind of erased the reason for "the rest of us" to use Basic. I switched to Python instead.
