   Ummm ... I'm not going to trash BASIC or PHP.
   They're comprehensible and serve their purpose
   without being pretentious or ivory-tower. Good
   stuff is good stuff.

I've never done much with BASIC and my PHP experience comes from trying to 
fix a PHP app developed by another programmer. My real bone to pick with 
BASIC is its influence on COM. It gets real old wading through BSTRs, and 
Variants introduced because typing in VB sucked.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variant_type_(COM)

The path from DDE to OLE to COM is another one of those evolutions that 
could have used some natural selection.

One of my various attempts at inter-program communication was DDE.
I managed to come up with a program that would kill the "unkillable"
Windows NT.

I finally switched to sockets.  More robust, more straightforward,
portable to Linux, and since my messages were lines of ASCII text,
I could use telnet for debugging, as well as diagnosing customer sites.

   COMs are a bit weird for my tastes. Lots
   of languages have their own takes on them
   however.

   Hmm ... how to best code something like
   that in K&R 'C' ?

   Did lots of BASIC programs, but was kind of
   out of that before it ever became "visual".
   Turbo Pascal ... and BASIC went into the
   bottom drawer.

   However IF you keep it strict and straight you
   can do very complex stuff with BASIC and it
   works as well as lots of other languages.
   Pref the 'look & feel' of Python a lot
   more however, so I doubt I'll ever do
   another BASIC program.

   PHP ... I've done a fair bit with that - adding
   a lot of badly needed IQ to stupid web pages.
   Pages wind up like one-third HTML and the rest
   being PHP. Beats JS !

I looked into it briefly.  It became eye-glazingly complex
very quickly.  I punted and re-designed everything using
sockets.  Much simpler - and more portable.

   Much agreed. COMs were kind of a "first try", but
   better approaches soon arrived.

CORBA was no ball of joy either. However it sort of faded away while COM 
lived on.

   SO many methods/'solutions' in the bad old days.

   Eventually kinda sorted itself out however.

COM is sort of Microsoft's take on Sun's ONC RPC, which uses XDR for 
serialization. That's all C. You start with a .x definition file which 
defines the data to be passed with C structs. rpcgen used that to create a 
header and .c file to link into the program.

It's all C data types. Since COM grew from BASIC you wind up with tagged 
variants and other good stuff. 

XDR has its drawbacks too. For one it uses network byte order. That gets a 
little intense with a LAN with only little-endian machines since you have 
a lot of htonl() and ntohl() calles.  Secondly it's a C struct. There may 
only be data in one field but the entire struct is sent, say 324 bytes of 
empty space and 9 bytes of data. 

There have been attempts to improve RPC with XML-RPC, JSON-RPC, and gRPC. 
With JSON and XML you don't have to send empty fields but you have the 
overhead of the tags. 

gRPC is Google's invention. It uses protocol buffers and a interface 
descriptor language in a .proto file and a tool to create actual code. It 
smells like XDR to me except you can designate fields as optional.

VB's biggest strength was that it combined a well-known, accessible
language with an extremely straightforward UI builder, and did it some-
thing close to "the right way round," presenting methods as browseable
and editable components of the UI objects they applied to rather than
making you dig through an object definition in a source file in search
of the appropriate callback function.* Especially back in the Bad Old
Days of Win16 programming, it was far and away the simplest way to go
from zero to functioning GUI application...

* (Of course it was defined the usual way in the raw source text, but
  the IDE handled things so that you didn't need to bother thinking
  about it...mostly.)

...but, unfortunately, the language spec was a little bit of a mess
from the get-go, and only got worse the more stuff they bolted onto it,
plus the runtime was more than a bit buggy :/ Shame, as I still haven't
seen anything in the modern day that offers a comparably simple way to
build GUI programs.

WinForms grew out of VB and has survived despite Microsoft's repeated 
attempts to kill it. 

QtDesigner isn't too bad for a drag and drop visual editor.

Oh, there are reasonable *layout* tools for the major frameworks - but
what set VB apart back in the day was that it abandoned the whole idea
of a form's layout and code being separate entities, at least in the
way it normally presents that to the programmer.

Open up a *.frm file in a text editor and you'll see a bunch of object
declarations for the form and its elements, followed by their methods -
but open it in the IDE and it's just a collection of objects, with all
the glue handled by VB itself; the programmer doesn't have to slog
through all the definition boilerplate to get to an object's on-click
method when they can just double-click on the object itself in the form
designer, nor do they have to trawl through the editor looking for the
line with one particular property of an object when they can select the
object itself and edit it in the properties list.

Of course, that has its downsides (it never did properly support non-
GUI applications,) but compared to the "edit layout in the form
designer -> specify behavior in separate source file(s) -> compile,
link, test -> repeat" process of most GUI development environments,
it's incredibly straightforward. Just, y'know, a shame about its very
real *other* issues... :/

(I'd forgotten about GAMBAS when I was writing the preceding message -
on cursory inspection, that appears to be the *only* modern development
environment I've found that actually took that lesson from VB's success
and is attempting to imitate it, aside from a couple projects that aim
to be direct clones. The form designer could use some polish and I have
no idea how easy it is or isn't to redistribute software built with it,
but it's nice to see someone recognizing a good idea when they see it,
at least.)

   I'll assert that Lazarus/FP is by far the best
   drag-n-drop solution. Super-quick to design
   GUIs and then add your own IQ to them.

I'll assert I played with Pascal when TurboPascal came out for CP/M. Not 
bad for $49.99 but that was a few days ago.

   Still use Pascal for all kinds of things. Something
   about the look & feel appeals to me. Started with
   the ancient M$/IBM multipass compiler (still have
   one in a VM somewhere).

   However for right-now basic GUIs (albeit with a
   90s look) Lazarus is your best bet once you learn
   how to place and access your own functions in
   the auto-generated code. Need something by 5pm
   then you go Lazarus.

I also like Lazarus.

Although the amount of libraries to do the same thing is confusing, re 
which is the proper one. I forget how many types of strings: the classic 
255 string, the 0 terminated string, Windows style, and then utf 
strings. Maybe more I forget.


And there is a Linux version. Back to topic ;-)
