This looks amazing for kids getting into coding. Thank you.

VB6 was honestly one of my all time favourite languages. Was something like 8-9 years old and compared to Qbasic, VB was just mind-blowing to me. Spent so many hours coding random useless stuff, it was just an amazing gateway to programming with instant feedback and results. Compared to today's stack of frontend/backend separation, and even frontend presentation/business logic separation (i'm looking at you html), vb was such a good way for people to learn.
