Visual Basic nailed it, for me. Nothing has felt that intuitive for me since.

If I were to build a poor man's effigy to visual basic today, I'd use Go as the underlying language, and Fyne for the visual kit.

- Go has strong concurrency that is easy to understand

- Go has easy syntax that makes errors very obvious and debuggable

- Go is multi platform, truly, from OS to hardware, right out of the box

- Go with Fyne can produce a single binary .exe just like visual basic.

- Fyne retains the same look and feel across different environments

Ever tried Delphi (or nowadays, Free Pascal / Lazarus)?

I first encountered Visual Basic, and it felt... Almost there. Then i encountered Delphi, and it was love at first sight.
