I still think it is brutal we let our industry rookies learn complicated programming concepts in complicated languages like Java, python, js or god forbid anything functional.

I still think it is a huge mistake be Microsoft to let Basic rot away and that our industry should focus teaching on something like Pascal which does not stand in your way

It is incredible given how much WinDev doubles down on COM, that they keep failing on producing any kind of tooling that is as productive as the VB 6 experiece used to be.
