This looks neat. It uses Bob Nystrom's Wren language for scripting and has been in development for a few years.

Ignore the naysayers replying to this. I have no vested interest in Xojo except I’ve been coding with it and enjoying it since 2004.

It’s worth pointing out that this is a higher salary than most doctors make (below consultant level) in the UK.

I really recommend Xojo[1] (formally RealBasic). It’s like a modern VB6 but runs on macOS, Windows and many flavours of Linux.
It has very polished drag and drop UI editor.
I’ve been developing with it for over 20 years and my 10 year old daughter is now learning programming with it.
You can create and debug apps for free and only need a license to deploy an app as a binary so it’s ideal to learn with.
Heck, it can even build for the raspberry pi.

I’ve just started out with Flame and Flutter. As a newcomer to game development (but experienced in other genres of coding) I’ve found it great.

This looks great - well done.
As a self taught pianist I’d like to give a shout out to Simply Piano (1). It’s an iPad app that can take you from absolute beginner to a fairly advanced level. Connects via midi or uses the microphone.
I went from not being able to play any instrument to sheet reading Fur Elise in about a year of playing 15/20 minutes per day.
New music drops every week covering classical, pop, movies, jazz, etc.
A very happy customer.

Take a look at Wren if you want a similar looking embeddable scripting language. It was created by Bob Nystrom (who now works in Dart). It’s a lovely language.

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.

I’ve been a happy user of Xojo (formally RealBasic) for about 20 years. It’s really powerful and free to use when getting started. I really like the all-in-one IDE and the ability to cross compile for macOS, Windows and Linux. Their desktop support is pretty good. Their iOS and web support not such much however.
I think it’s a shame they are not more well known

That's not been my experience on a console since the Sega Megadrive. Whenever I find a couple of hours to play video games (working around kids, wife, etc) I inevitably have to spend an hour downloading countless patches, updates, etc. Modern day gaming consoles have become more difficult to just pick up and play than consoles of yesteryear.

I've been using Xojo (https://xojo.com) for about 15 years now to make cross-platform GUI apps. The language is similar to VB6 but it's been constantly updated. No affiliation, just a happy customer.
