To be clear, Visual Basic isn’t dead. I work in the govtech space. I can assure you that there are VB6 applications still running into production in this space, even places you would not expect. VB6 doesn’t support threading, but I’ve seen Computer Aided Dispatch applications that use C++ to multi-thread VB6 server code for emergency 911 dispatch.
VB6 still runs on Windows, and will even work just fine in AWS.
