Gambas is a Basic language with object extensions. A program written with Gambas is a set of files. Each file describes a class, in terms of object programming. The class files are compiled, then executed by an interpreter. It is very inspired by Java. Gambas is made up of the following programs: * compiler * interpreter * archiver * graphical user interface component * development environment The development environment is written with Gambas itself, to show the abilities of the language. Features - A Gambas project is stored under 1 directory. The archiver transforms the project directory structure in one sole executable file - Compiling a project only requires the compilation of the modified classes. Every external reference of a class is solved dynamically at the execution time - Gambas has a component architecture that allows to extend the language. Anyone can write components as shared libraries that dynamically add new native classes to the interpreter. Components can be written in Gambas. The component architecture is documented in the Wiki encyclopaedia - By default, the Gambas interpreter is a text-only program. The component architecture is used for writing the graphical user interface part of the language - The graphical user interface is implemented as a component, Gambas will be able to be independent of any toolkit! Write a program, and choose the toolkit later : GTK+, Qt4.. - Gambas projects are easily translatable - Its object model is simple but powerful

Talking of alternatives, I'm also aware of Gambas, though I've never tried it: http://gambas.sourceforge.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
> I've often wanted a VB6 equivalent for the web, but open source. That's Gambas, it can create web apps. https://gambas.sourceforge.net Some more links here: https://github.com/wekan/hx/tree/main/prototypes/ui/gambas. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

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 / 8 months ago
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
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: over 1 year ago
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 / over 2 years ago
