Anywhere Software develops three development tools sharing the same language (B4X): B4A, B4i and B4J. The only relation between VB6 and B4X is that the language is somewhat similar.@Erel See this.
What advantage will the new vb6 have over b4j?
So going back with a VB6 clone could be a niche for some applications and some developers, but definitely not a good way for the future, you will have to deal with DLL (supported or not, 32 or 64 bits), create libs...., a real mess, a real non sense.
Someone is reading my mind...I could use B4J aswell, but I don't like the designer of it as it is too slow on my machine and was a pain to get it working.
If Erel could write his own res builder then the product would be even better and faster.
if Java had it all then why is everyone begging to have stuff ported/wrapped?
Java also has its problems. When I dare to leave the auto updater on I will run into misery with management consoles for PBXs and other stuff.
but you were not allowed to sell the programs you made with it, if I recall right. so what's the point? only for lessons in school?

Not sure about the version number yet. Probably 3.5. The first beta will probably be released in a couple of weeks.Is this version 4.0 ?
For .NET, Express and Community Editions always aimed this target.Whether it is Java or .NET these framework are better suited for enterprise level applications and may not be suitable for the Hobbyist and Indie developers.
I'm an experienced Java and .NET developper (C++, C#, VB) and I can't see why .NET would be worst than Java. Your comparison implies that Java is a poor language and .NET is even worst. Where are the facts ? The example that you give is completely off topic. TradElect was replaced by an application written in C++. No Java here..NET is even worst than java here is one example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TradElect
A company should never choose the language that developers likes because it's not about liking and personal preferences, it's about doing a specific job with the right tool for a given budget. "Does the IDE support team development ?", "Is it sold by a long-lasting company?", "Is there a customer support?" and "What's the cost of enterprise licenses ?" are more important questions than "Does John like it ?" or "What's the trendy language?". Do you know a company with such a strange reasoning?i think most developers have a Job at some company where they only work on part of a project, so their mindset is suited for that work culture, most companies choose language which is popular in the market and not what its developer likes
I wonder why nobody ever tried to write a fast device driver with VB6 or a transaction manager for a server farm in VB6 if it's so good. And why am I unable to find an article on Internet stating a similar performance? VB6 was a good product but not to that point and wrong claims about it do not serve the debate. I used it also for years and I don't regret it because I am still able to do my job with other languages supporting the new protocols and technologies, with no pain and no reason to look back; I understand very well the answer given by the Visual Studio Team in the link given above. It's not like if people was forced to return to the assembler-and-C era.VB6 became popular because it provided the power of C++
For .NET, Express and Community Editions always aimed this target.
i mean the output of VB6 is same as output of C++ because it uses the modified C compiler to compile code. there are some articles and code sample available to access the performance of VB6 vs C/C++ vs .NET. Each language has its own advantages and disadvantages. nor you can do device driver in java or .net.I wonder why nobody ever tried to write a fast device driver with VB6 or a transaction manager for a server farm in VB6 if it's so good

Microsoft themselves dont use .NET for their own app, that is the proof of pudding in the eating, they tried making the windows shell and other app that goes into windows using .NET in the vista days and it ended up with a disaster.I'm an experienced Java and .NET developper (C++, C#, VB) and I can't see why .NET would be worst than Java.
i was talking about the work culture which develops like and disliking for a particular language, which leads to language snobbery we often see C/C++ vs Java vs .NET vs Python vs Rest clubs.A company should never choose the language that developers likes because it's not about liking and personal preferences
