Interesting to meet another person that went through the “GW-BASIC to Rust” journey. Mine was through FreeBasic and C++ in the middle but we ended up in the same neighbourhood.
I did BASIC on the Apple IIe, then TurboBasic, Visual Basic (3, 4, 5 and 6 with some C in there somewhere), VB.Net, C#, Java, Objective-C and finally QT. Now I drive a school bus.
I started with VB3, which didn’t have custom classes. I have no idea how I did anything back then, but at least it was better than TurboBasic.
I did years of gw-basic, then ms quickbasic, j++, java, c#, now rust.
