The bottom line out of all of this is that is was brought up by a single person that was only trying to stir up hopes of an opensource vb6. The person has since been dealt with for making false statements. The rumors are completely false and it will more than likely never ever happen. End of story.
Oh and additionally, there are lots of companies still using VB6 as their main code source for enterprise sized applications. I work at one such company and we run a multi-million dollar business on VB6 desktop codebase. No the web versions are all .NET and services accessed by both versions are .NET based.
I see many jobs still with VB6 as a required skillset as well as some dedicated positions utilizing it. So I wouldnt say VB6 is anywhere near death... yet.
VB6 still kicks an unbelievable amount of ass, it can't be topped too easely.
That appears to be an example of metaphors going bad. I have no idea what you mean, but taken a different way, it is a statement that can't be disputed since it is all relative without a frame of reference. For instance, nobody would displute that VB6 can't be topped easily. Every language that is better than VB6 in any way, took a considerable amount of effort to create.Quote:
