Ask HN: Why did Visual Basic die?
405 by Zelphyr | 507 comments
I've been a software developer for almost 30 years. I remember using VB back in the 90's and I was thinking about it the other day and it dawned on me; despite all the advances in technology since then, nothing I have found compares to that development experience today. I would go so far as to say we've gone backwards in a big way. Now, I'm no fan of Microsoft products but, I have yet to find a tool that can allow me to be as productive in so short a time as Visual Basic. Yet I can't help wondering what problems it had that caused them to abandon it? Moreover, why hasn't someone come out with a solid replacement?
