Microsoft should open-source Visual Basic. I'm sure a community would quickly form and take care of keeping it up-to-date.

There's actually an open-source VB.NET compiler and runtime available already. The Mono project is sponsored by Microsoft.

I'd rather move to Lazarus (https://www.lazarus-ide.org/).
