Hmm, moving to Delphi means learning Object Pascal which is very different to VB. However it would have been great if VB had gained the ability to in-line the code like Delphi does. VB6 is really compiled (it uses a version of the VC++ backend), but they never when the extra step.

It will never happen now, as the next version of VB will be part of the .Net platform. If Tony is worried about bloat now, just wait. The .Net runtime is likely to run to many tens of megs rather than 3 meg...

(though of course the runtime will be built into future versions of Windows anyway, it doesn't help Win9x and WinNT4 users, who will have a very large download to do)
