I am still looking for the equivalent of Visual Basic for making modern Web and mobile apps.

It is exciting that we might finally be getting there!

There's React Studio which is free and quite complete, although has some learning curve:

Same here. VB was widely dogged, perhaps rightly so. But I've never been near as fast or productive when making a functional GUI. It's sad that fell out of favor.

The closest-ish i've come is messing with Anvil.

not affiliated, but i do go back every 3 months to find out again that the $50/mo buy-in is too high for my liking.

The framework is open source, so if you don't want to pay, you can self host! You can use the dev environment for free, then deploy on your own hardware:

(Founder here, confirming that this is a Supported Use Case :-P)

VB is 30 years old this year and we still need to re-invent for the Web, sadly.

However there is stuff like OutSystems or Oracle Apex.

By the way Xojo does support WebAssembly.

ASP.NET Web Forms + Telerik components always came really close for me for web apps. And to lesser extend Xamarin Forms for mobile as well.

I'm still looking for the equivalent of DataViews (leading GUI builder in 1998) for modern apps. I'm serious too.
