interoperable, and things that won't migrate easily. Is there any
program in the free software world that could use VB source code to
build executables? Or, should the VB code be simply dumped, and written
afresh with more portable languages? A tidy list, in the Indian
context, may help migration in a better way.
Gambas comes to my mind:
http://gambas.sourceforge.net/
It is not a clone of VB though, but you can port your VB apps to gambas easily.
Gambas FAQ: Is Gambas compatible with Visual Basic?
No, and it will never be!
Fortunately, there are many similarities, but do not expect to take
your old Visual Basic code and run it on Gambas without any change.
You can go the troubleshooting page to find some examples of the
differences between the two languages.
