(it hangs at an Avalonia logo, since this is .NET crap being turned into a webapp against our will)

on FF128ESR it runs... slowly, clunky (while the real VB6 would smoke tires on a lowly Pentium MMX)

.NET?

AFAIK that one is not .NET, or do you mean the webappified implementation is?

... maybe I'll test it by making a GUI interface to track an IP address!

(VB6 was also "VB98", now that I had a peek inside the setup directory names?)

Avalonia is .NET

> Avalonia is a free and open-source[3][4] .NET cross-platform XAML-based UI framework [5] inspired by WPF/UWP and distributed under the MIT License.[6][7][8] Avalonia supports the MVVM pattern.[9]

ironically, a remake of VB6 in .NET (as a proper desktop application!) would be killer, since developers HATED VB.NET

instead of fixing the classic VB language faults, MS went and came up with a completely new language that was vaguely resembling VB

and of course your old existing code would not work as-is, you had essentially to rewrite most (if not all) of it

hence why devs stuck to VB6 'till the cold death of the universe, or just decided they were grown up enough to jump ship to Delphi, Java, C++, or even C#
