   I have been working on a VB6 recreation starting with the IDE. Eventually I want to build the compiler and runtime, but for now being able to open existing projects, load all the images and do all the syntax highlighting is a good first step.

   I know TwinBasic exists but its closed source and I want to take things further than VB6 ever did. I always felt like VB7 could have been something amazing if it kept going outside of .NET but they let it go and basically killed a really rich language by breaking all sane compatibility.

   Maybe worth me putting support for this project, and I too intend to license my efforts under the MIT license. ;)
