Classic Visual Basic 6 IDE rebuilt to run in the browser

Original: A browser-native classic Visual Basic VB6 IDE

A developer has released a browser-native recreation of the classic Visual Basic 6 IDE, letting users open the familiar VB6 development environment directly in a web browser without installing anything. The project is drawing attention from programmers nostalgic for Visual Basic, which Microsoft once made one of the most widely used development tools before phasing it out. Reactions centre on the novelty of reviving a beloved legacy tool via web technology.
