• Ask HN: Why did Visual Basic die?

  For anyone looking for a modern alternative to Visual Basic, you might want to take a look at Xojo. Xojo's a rapid application development platform (both a language and an IDE) that you can use to develop desktop apps (for macOS, Windows, Linux), Web apps, mobile apps (for iOS and Android), as well as console apps. It's been around for more than 20 years, and some of you might remember it from back when it was... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Small Visual Basic

  I really recommend Xojo[1] (formally RealBasic). It’s like a modern VB6 but runs on macOS, Windows and many flavours of Linux. It has very polished drag and drop UI editor. I’ve been developing with it for over 20 years and my 10 year old daughter is now learning programming with it. You can create and debug apps for free and only need a license to deploy an app as a binary so it’s ideal to learn with. Heck, it... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Do any of you code with/on steno?

  I have yet to get into actual programming, but when I do, it will probably be with the multi-platform programming environment called XoJo. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Performance Improvements in .NET 6

  I've been using Xojo (https://xojo.com) for about 15 years now to make cross-platform GUI apps. The language is similar to VB6 but it's been constantly updated. No affiliation, just a happy customer. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Why we chose Elixir

  After some time debating which technologies we should use, we decided to go with Elixir and Phoenix. In short, these tools gave us the productivity, stability, safety, and scalability (the company was planning on opening up the application to the public, with a new API added to the mix, so future performance was a bit of a concern) that seemed appropriate for the company's plans. - Source: dev.to / 1 day ago

• Install mutiple Erlang and Elixir with vfox

  If you've been using asdf to manage and maintain multiple versions of Erlang and Elixir, then vfox is also a good choice for you. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Perfect Elixir: Environment Setup

  I’m on MacOS and erlang.org, elixir-lang.org, and postgresql.org all suggest installation via Homebrew, which is a very popular package manager for MacOS. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Reliability in Legacy Software

  But regardless of their reasons, they'll note that the service is easily meeting its SLOs. It was written in a highly performant, if idiosyncratic language, and uses patterns which give it a high level of resilience and the ability to recover from many situations automatically. The service is steady as a rock, and left to its own devices will more or less chug along indefinitely once deployed. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Meet entr, the standalone file watcher

  As you might have guessed, one of the main use cases for entr is to rerun tests whenever files change. I'm an Elixir engineer, and I use entr to run mix test continuously whenever I save an Elixir file. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago
