Hey, c'mon! That guy wants to know about a VHLL for Linux. You're only trying to discourage him from adopting Linux by this attitude.
And Visual Basic language per se is a VHLL ? Excuse me but I thought VB was famous as a RAD tool. In my previous mail on this thread I had mentioned GLADE as a interface builder. Which can be called (partly) as a RAD tool. But even GLADE write C/C++ code down under.
Of course then there is TCL/TK toolkit with which you can create 'apps' fast. But can it come under the VHLL tag? Does it have the speed, flexibility etc.etc. ?
I think Kylix is about the only thing similar to VB for Linux. But I an not sure if it is free.
If one wants a true VHLL under Linux then go for Lisp. CMUCL, Clisp, GCL etc.etc. :P
BTW however much you want _everybody_ to use Linux, diluting the quality and corrupting the attitude is not the way to go. Those are the things which make Linux great. Truly great.
