Indeed, I still have one backend in production built back then with Drumbeat. Its UI was very new and rebuilt/consulted with Alan Cooper of Thunder/Visual Basic/About Face fame.
Interesting. I remember Alan Cooper. He wore a beret type hat.
Drumbeat was incredible. VB for the web.
No web UI component framework has matched the usability of VB.
Why haven't we seen a true successor?
Microsoft should do a native TypeScriptVB or something.
I love how xcode's object -> function mapping seems inspired by visual basic / delphi, but actually makes no fucking sense when compared to those tools.
