Is it possible to remake Visual Basic in Visual Basic, what I mean is like make a program in VB that is the Visual Basic programming language. If possible, then how (not asking for extreme details and exact code).

Visual Basic is not a good language to use for writing VB, but I suppose it could be done. I suspect VB was writen in a combination of C & assembler.
In prehistoric times, assemblers were written in assembly language, and the first Algol Compiler was written in Algol. Rather than writing in machine code, it was easier to write a simple version of these languages in the language itself, and then do the assembly/compile as a complicated clerical job to get the first version. Then using that simple version, the more complicated versions were implemented.
Here is a good example:
D++ (check out the first 4).
There's a bit of a flame war going on between the supporters of Jel and D++ at the moment :rolleyes:
