You wanna put the joke icon on that one - people who know you might think you have turned to the dark side...or is that the dumb side? ;)

It wasn't a bad language. If it was a bad language, there wouldn't have been such a demand for it in the business community. It did exactly what it set out to do - make developing business applications quick.

That what you say - but in 1999 when we went to Microsoft they sold us VB6 to develop the new version of our ERP. It was catastrophic... It was a group - so-called - specialist in distributed network applications (they called it DNALab), and they almost ruined our reputation with that suggestion... So the fact that even Microsoft didn't know for what VB is good, but they tried it on everyone without mercy... X|

Demand doesn't make something "not bad" - see cigarettes, the first generation Fiat Panda, and Sharknado 2.
Perfect argument! Case closed! :laugh:

Thank God! For a moment I thought you'd lost your mind. Everyone knows MicroFocus Cobol is second to none. Which is why it figures prominently on my resume. ;) /ravi

A short while ago (like one or two months ago) there was a TOP article here on CP explaining that VB6 is a great language that should come back. It got quite some upvotes too. Just looked it up: Visual Basic 6.0: A giant more powerful than ever[^]. It even won VB article of the month. I'm not saying it's a bad article, the author clearly put time and effort in it, and I refrained from voting. I WAS very surprised by the article and the amount of people agreeing with it though. Thought you might have read it ;-)

In 1999 Microsoft was selling VB6 for any business problem. It was their language of the day. :sigh:
