    I think you missed the point. Microsoft in 90s/2000s were openly hostile to open source. Choosing windows was an odd choice

    If you looked at microsoft in the 90s and early 2000s and came to the conclusion that it would be *the best* place for your opensource projects, I'm not sure what to tell you.

    you can do it but the variable needs to be public in the module. Also works if the variable is part of a class (replace me with the class in the callbyname function)

  35. Re: Is the VB6 community capable to grab the bull by its horns?

    The .net framework is open source

    https://dotnet.microsoft.com/platform/open-source
  36. Re: Is the VB6 community capable to grab the bull by its horns?

    .net is open. The compiler and language spec receive updates form non-microsoft sources. The 90s are over. It's time to move on.
  37. Re: Is the VB6 community capable to grab the bull by its horns?

    Javascript isn't declining.

    And if we could set aside our hate for .net, you would find an open source compiler (roslyn), an open language spec, and lots of exciting projects like blazor.
