That brings back memories. I got a copy of that when it was called REALbasic and distributed on MacFormat magazine cover CDs.

Sufficiently compatible with VB that I wrote some coursework on it for a teacher who only knew VB.

It looks like Xojo is based on REALbasic as http://www.realsoftware.com/ redirects to https://www.xojo.com/.

Yeah they renamed it maybe 10 years ago (it’s pronounced Zo Joe). It’s a fast compiled BASIC like OOP language that runs natively on x86 and ARM.
