Very nicely done, now a Delphi and I can finally be happy about the state of development again.

Sourcecode: https://github.com/BAndysc/AvaloniaVisualBasic6

Edit: someone information about Lazarus deleted their comment, my answer;

I know about Lazarus yes; I use it for my old projects. I would like a modern version that also works in-browser and .NET seems good for that as this shows. Maybe based on this https://pascalabc.net/en/ .

Not kidding; I still enjoy Pascal/Lazarus (and common lisp) programming more than anything current; none of the anxiety and all of the joy and productivity.

Just because you can use some technology in .net on the client and inside the browser does not mean you should. Most of the time these frameworks have huge tradeoffs and once you are using it, you will quickly be locked in.

I.e it’s way easier to migrate from mvc to mvc than from webforms to blazor/avaloniaui/dotvvm
