And try dabbling in vb.net these days and you get very little assistance. All the microsoft examples are in c#.
In my brief experience it looks harder to find help for vb.net than vb6
What newbie is going to choose vb.net over c# in those circumstances?
You might be right. Who knows. All I know is something as powerful typedef needs to be used responsibly. People who come from unforgiving programming backgrounds like C++ tend to be very respectful of it's power. Perhaps it might be good for TwinBASIC, I don't know. I'm not really leaning hard one way or another. It's just that my first instinct is that it doesn't belong in BASIC. I could be wrong. I guess we'll see what happens.
