    Re: Getting the ball rolling. Which VB6 projects are you working on?

    Olaf has allegedly been working on an RC6-based compiler for years and will be for the next decade. But its completion will apparently herald his perfect world where the conditions for open sourcing RC6 (or RC20) are finally met, and I guess then we're all supposed to forget about VB6 and tB and start rewriting our apps around RC6/Cairo. Or something like that.

    Ah, I seeeeeee. I'm treading on places I should not. I now see Wqweto's comments in a new light.

    I assume that by building VB6/RC programs I may appear in your eyes, to have joined the dark side...

    For me, VB6+RC6/Cairo just does a job that I would struggle to achieve using GDI or GDI+

    By the power invested in me, all the threads I start are battle free zones - no arguing about the benefits of VB6 over .NET here please. Happiness must reign.
