Not opensource programming language warning.
I'd argue VB was worse because of it (and it's std lib) not being opensource at the time than because it was soooooo bad of a language... People cheer on HN for JS and PHP saying they are totally acceptable langs; then VB was (is) also totally acceptable.
But VB required a payment upfront and whenever you needed to upgrade tools. This is not how the world liked it: pretty much all mainstream langs have opensource tools/stdlib/ecosystems nowadays.
This project replaces proprietary with proprietary (as far as i can see); so to me it adds no value.
In this space (RAD tool) I'm more interested in: https://www.lazarus-ide.org https://www.lazarus-ide.org
