Мой наивный робот: как я оцифровал дилерские рефлексы на VB6
В 2020 году я написал робота, который закрывал за меня клиентские валютные сделки на Мосбирже. Схема оценки рынка у него была, прямо скажем, наивная: восемь метрик, пять состояний и лестница if-ов. Эта схема два года зарабатывала банку его копейки — и умерла не от наивности.

Ah, the #nostalgia of VB6! 🕰️ When #coding was as simple as your 1998 haircut. Now, modern .NET? It's like trading your trusty bicycle for a spaceship you can't pilot 🚀—sure, it does more, but good luck figuring it out!

I know I'm very much reinventing the wheel here, especially because the wheel has been abandoned and whatever they're calling wheels these days require a supercar and a subscription at minimum to use and no one can build a wheel any more without a hundred people and a plan to burn money until a vulture swoops in to buy the burning husk for how bright it doth shine.
I *wish* this wasn't necessary, like I could just write some UI code and it'll run on any platform and it'll continue to do so forever no matter what new thing they add further down the line. Oh, wait, that already exists! It's called Visual Basic 6! I could write a GUI [to track the IP] in VB6 right now and it would run on Windows 95 through Windows 11 and via WINE on *nix.
Microsoft went on a bit of a bender in the 90s with COM, their object model, but they had the right idea if only lacking in execution (ActiveX...). If you want to embed a web-browser in your app you hook into the COM object and you're away. Different programming language? Doesn't matter. Different OS? Doesn't matter. Different *Endiness*!? Doesn't matter. Different physical location than the object? Doesn't matter, it works over the network!
Software is less modular than ever before; now "modular" just means the programmers used folders this time! Want to render a LibreOffice document inside your app? A PDF? A media player? How many years you got left?

I first wrote my own text editor around 2001 using Visual Basic 6 and I used that editor, on Windows, *until VSCode was released in 2016* because #VSCode was the first non-crap Windows editor, and that might seem like a weird thing to say nowadays but in the Before Times, the best text editors in the world were on #Mac because that was the only market where developers cared about software quality and people would actually pay money for it, at all.
Windows was known for piracy and open-source software was basically unusable on the platform. We really, really have come a long way. Remember Atom? They asked the question "what if we wrote a text-editor in JavaScript?" (even worse, coffescript) and the answer was, unsurprisingly, a text-editor slower and less responsive than a teletype. VSCode was literally the first text editor on Windows to successfully copy TextMate.
But even now, one reason I stuck to my editor for so long was because it's the only editor, before or since, where the list of folders and list of files are separate which prevents things jumping around like crazy all the time and it's a feature I still lament the loss of.

#VB6 hat einen Nachbau-Nachfolger #TwinBASIC (Soll 100 % VB6 können). Immer noch Beta.
Aber es gibt eine (erste?) kommerzielle Anwendung, die von VB6 nach TwinBASIC 64Bit transferiert wurde.
#^https://www.xyplorer.com
Als VBA Frickler bin ich gespannt, wie das ganze weitergeht. -

BTW Here’s a modern open-source, regularly updated, portable image editor written in Visual Basic 6 that runs on XP and up and outperforms GIMP: https://photodemon.org/

@babble_endanger #FreePascal runs on #MSDOS, 9x, XP and up, #PowerPC MacOS and lots more. Heck, VisualBasic 6 #VB6 runs on 9x thru Win11 and is more stable an ABI on #Linux via Wine than Linux apps have. #Rust ’s problem is a matter of will; a turning up of the nose of anything that isn’t “current” — a moniker they haven’t realised they don’t control; that’s in the hands of Microsoft, Apple, Google etc.

amazing day at work today!!!
setup vb6 enterprise in a virtual machine (💀) so myself and my coworkers can actually make bug fixes for one of our apps we maintain
because im so cool, i got it working in 6hr and fixed the CI/CD scripts because someone deleted them by accident
(for context, that piece of software is extremely important at my work and is at least a few years older than me. and it's so god damn fucking cursed)
