Having coded in VB6 in my past life, I was very happy to get away from the 'dll hell' of VB6/COM. Next up, Java. The more you deal with it, you realize the 'jar hell' is the same as before, just in a different form. Now, I get to deal with ruby gem nonsense.

I wish they open sourced VB6 15 years back. Too little too late (at least for me), even if the news is true.
