Rad Basic 100% compatible with your Visual Basic 6 projects
I owe significant portion of my Win32 dev skills to VB6. It allowed for working with the Win32 SDK by importing API calls from user32, kernel32, gdi32, etc.
When I was still in high school, I used to hack GUI projects and games in the evenings. The culmination of that was a full blown space shooter game using DirectX7 [0] (still runs on Linux) and a TCP/IP chat + canvas draw application that I had installed in the computer room at my school. Fun times.

A 2024 Plea for Lean Software
Rebol [ http://www.rebol.com ] were still king.
It was simple to use, small executables, expressive, but no longer maintained :(
- Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
- Is there any high level programming language whose executable generated on one platform(OS) and runs on other platforms as well, if the machine/architecture is literally same.

What is a lesser known programming language that you think could be better than Python for non-programmers doing general scripting?
In theory, something like Rebol is much better, but you have to accept that a big bonus in favor of python is it’s popularity, so much easier to find answers if you are stuck, etc
