Are you going to make a VB6 replacement?

Just a question. If I can point someone today that could be interested in
that and with the knowledge enough, I think of you.
Of couse other could help.

VB6 was made not by martians, but by human people with knowledge and will
(in that case paid and with the support from MS, and not only one person but
a team).

We need a language that can become a language also for web development, and
to compile for ARM, between other things.

Let's start finding a name: VB6Ex?

Two available options are KBasic and B++. Both use a syntax compatible with
VB6, but you will find only non-GUI apps can be converted with "ease". B++
is basically a free VB6 to C++ converter, so you can take the C++ source and
compile it using GCC to ARM. It probably would take me few days just to get
it to work that way with a simple non-GUI VB6 app and run it on ARM on an
Android cell phone, but I don't have the time.

KBasic uses Qt GUI Toolkit and it's multiplatform.

B++ is currently Windows only, but one can modify it to use Qt.

KBasic:

B++:

You can download the free command line tools that B++ uses from here:

But I'm talking of a language able to open a "legacy" VB6 project, run it,
and compile it (as VB6 did with VB5).

May be.
