That's what I was told in a VB6 public forum on Orkut.

anything is possible in any language ... It comes down to time, money, and effort ... and how much of each of those you're willing to put into it.

If it was a question addressed to me, then the answer would be: time and effort.

I'm not sure it really counts if you have to make it your full time job for years or hire a team to recreate the language from scratch with an ability that just can't be done otherwise.

Like you just can't make an x64 program in VB6, or write kernel mode stuff in .NET, Java, and many others.

You could make a new language that superficially appeared similar, but it wouldn't really be the same language at all under the hood.

If I'm wrong and someone has figured out how to do these things... well by all means, revolutionize the language :)

Hopefully this project actually gets off the ground: https://github.com/twinbasic/twinbasic

It's way further than 'off the ground'... see my reply to your post in the other thread.
