À propos of nothing, I was reminded today that some of the most fun I’ve had programming was when I made apps in REALbasic, now Xojo. You rarely hear about it but it’s a very productive environment.

Among other things, back in the day I rewrote the 4-Sight Fax client, which let people send and receive faxes at their computer as easily as email, going from about 100k lines of Java code to 30k in REALbasic.
