> Visual Basic was the pinnacle of graphics programming
I am still shocked how no tool since has managed to come even close to VB. You could easily develop a moderately complex GUI application that felt snappy in an afternoon. C# with WinForms is the second closest to that. All other iterations since have not been designed with individual developers in mind, sadly.
A powerful developing alternative to this paradigm could be what I’m calling speech/voice driven development (SDD or VDD). It takes some pain of typing so much away - makes interactions with AI feel a bit more natural. Like talking to a colleague. But for it to really work well, AI models will need to become even faster.
