- gus_massa 3y agoClasic Visual Basic 6 is very old, like 30 years old!!! I still have the CD stored somewhere. It's geting harder and harder to install because it ask for Java 4 (exactly) and has a 16 bit installer. I don't recomend it for newcomers. (There is an "unoficial" installer that fix all the problems, but I never tried it.) Also, people make fun of you because it has "basic" in the name and they remember the old unestructured version of "basic". Anyway, for small apps that look nice enough and have two buttons and everyone can use, I still love VB6. (Now I'm using mostly Racket, but the syntax is too strange if the parent doesn't use it. I recomend to start with Python and save a few parenthesis for later when the kid get enlighted.)
