I am definitely from the Golden Age of Visual Basic.

  Yep, Visual Basic was very much under-appreciated. That, combined with a great IDE, Visual Forms, and a very decent compiler. Then .Net came and ruined a good thing.

    When WinRT got released, I thought, they finally did it the right way. AOT compilation, with managed languages on top of COM, in a sense bringing back VB 6, and an approximation of C++ Builder. Then management messed it all up.

    VB 6 was my 1st exposure for desktop programming (MSVC was harder). Then I met Delphi 6, and Lazarus. These days, when I want to build cross platform desktop apps quickly, Lazarus is #1 choice. P.S: I don't write desktop apps profesionally anymore, used to write a few in Java Swing and FX.
