Earlier quoted context omitted.

HN never fails to suprise. I found vb6 ok for simple stuff but a recipe for spaghetti on medium to large projects

I had to use it at one job and it was exactly that, a spaghetti nightmare. I did not like it. I don't want to say it's bad, though, I just prefer to shy away from it and don't see any point in using it again.

It certainly had its place on Windows development before .net was released

I think this is kind of like asking what car has the best experience or what hotel has the best experience. It depends so much on what you want from it that there's no clear recommendation.

I was super impressed with elm. Great docs, amazing error messages, good examples.
