Yea man, this is what I'm saying. VB6 compatibility is important, yea but making TwinBASIC a modern language is equally important, I'd even go as far as saying it's more important in the long term. There is no point without either of these goals. I just get the sense that so many people would be perfectly happy if the language remains largely unchanged which I think is a horrible idea.
