hello
this said Wayne in 2022
but I didnt see it in anywhere else
https://github.com/twinbasic/twinbasic/discussions/763
"As you know, my long term plan is to move the IDE away from VS Code to Theia"
seems Theia is a full open source IDE solution
is this idea still up?
would this get ride of microsoft heavy dependency webview2?
would twinbasic be more portable and light?
thank u all

webview2 I dont like, is Wayne smiling to microsoft and hoping?
well they didnt want this, they wanted to bury it as deep as they could, they wanted .net
I would like an alternative and simple old school IDE like vb6, even if it has many less features or what about an easy out of ide way to deal with compiler, to someone make it posible
-and who are you, -nobody lol
we are changing the adventure of programing for the adventure of follow and waiting for this dream project twinbasic
when it gets full ready we wont have much wants and strenght for programming, i think most of people who knows about this knows about vb6 and vba
IA flexible, kind of standard, and compatible for outputs almost ready to test
sounds also good for everybody, atractive
thanks, good job and best wishes in everything :)
