• 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

• Learning Elm by porting a medium-sized web front end from React (2019)

  Elm is a lovely lang. It would be nice to have modern APIs on it. here's the project for new eyes: https://github.com/elm/core. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Can you make your own JavaScript by implementing ECMAScript standard?

  You also wouldn't really be creating your own new programing language. You would be creating something that can run JavaScript by following JavaScript standards and syntax. You might be able to add some non-standard features of your own on top of those standards, or include your own standard library of helpers or utilities, but you can't completely make a new or alternative language and then load it in the...

• What is the best way to present the user the results of Haskell computations?

  You should at least have a look at https://elm-lang.org/ it is a pure functional language like Haskell (although with fewer fancy syntax/type classes) but it has some lovely libraries for visualisation and even with plain elm (+ elm-ui) doing string transformations can be easily done.
