As someone who loved coding in VB6: (I actually dreamt about it the other night, thought I woke up some 20 yrs ago!)

- very cool that you got to interview the VB team, your article is high on my reading list :) - to OP’s point, I recently started doing some things in Swift with XCode and found sim having just as much fun. I’m using SwiftUI. So maybe not the same experience for everyone but I wanted to share here.

I did a shitload of programming in VBA, specifically Word macros. Word 6 was the peak of that product. I wrote entire text-processing applications in it, with dialog boxes and everything. Started my career at a Big-6 firm with one, actually.

Now I’m learning SwiftUI as well, and like it so far. I’m an experienced iOS dev, but SwiftUI is new to me. But I like it (and QML in Qt) more than I expected. Good luck!

Thanks! Good luck to you too!

I don’t have experience with iOS - I am actually doing a bit of macOS development with that SwiftUI because, well, desktop apps kind of take me to my teen years building VB programmes (no one called them apps, at least I didn’t).
