Same boat here. I wrote a VB to C++ transpiler to make VB6-like IDE for PalmOS (basically a clone of the existing Handheld Basic++). The type system was a mess.

Same boat here. I wrote a VB to C++ transpiler to make VB6-like IDE for PalmOS (basically a clone of the existing Handheld Basic++). The type system was a mess. After one year of development on my free time I had the compiler and a form editor, but lots of out of memory errors when running the code on the simulator (and real devices) :-| At the same time, Palm sold the OS licenses to ACCESS inc., IIRC, and the future of the platform was sealed. Long story short, I shelved the project and I lost it during one of my cyclical "move backups to to a bigger disk" migration.
