• 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 / 8 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

• Immediate Mode GUI Programming

  Otherwise, if we have only retained mode as in browsers, we will need to modify the DOM heavily and create temporary elements for handles. [1] https://sciter.com. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Servo announces grant from the NLnet Foundation

  An embedded engine is also a much faster path to viable use cases. For example Sciter [1] has some degree of success despite implementing only a sane subset of the DOM API. It doesn't work well for general internet surfing, but when used as an UI library you just avoid the parts that don't work. 1: https://sciter.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

  I've still never used it but I've long been curious about Sciter: https://sciter.com. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
