I know this is a crazy idea. But you know, I always like to think crazy problems.
Last month, several military-related universities in China were banned from using MATLAB because they have entered the sanctions list of the US government. This made me fully aware of the importance of open source software. I'm thinking about a question: Is it possible to develop an open source software similar to MATLAB with VB6?
I know there are some MATLAB-like open source software developed in other programming languages, but the VB6 community has never had a heavyweight, well-known open source software. If we use VB6 to develop an open source software similar to MATLAB, will it attract more young developers to learn VB6? Will it make Microsoft re-think VB6?
Note:
The software developer/supplier of MATLAB is the American company MathWorks.
