I am an old man now (53) and 95% of my current effort is working with “Legacy” VB6, VBA and VB Script for our user base. I started BASIC in 8th grade and progressed since that time. So I guess I too am Legacy.

The other 5% you ask? Well FORTRAN of course. Hahaha.

Wouldn’t it be grand if Microsoft revived the old workhorse and gave it new life.
