I got started with VB1 and did my first commercial product in VB3. I wrote many applications in VB6 over the years and I was maintaining one application continually from 2000 to 2019. It worked great, with excellent debugging but was getting a bit long in the tooth over the last few years and the big fear not so much VB itself but the continued compatibility of third party components.

Like most developers I migrated to the curly braces languages (C# -> JavaScript -> TypeScript) but my first love will always be VB.
