Everything old is new again - VB6
Posted by S Ten on 08/07/2014 08:08amVisual Basic 6 (VB6) has done this for years. It combines better productivity (by using the VB6 RAD) with the performance of C++ (by using the C++ compiler). Pre-compiling C#, rather than JIT compiling, will speed up loading time, though not necessarily performance. This is long overdue. Of course, the backend compiler for this is the C++ compiler â just like the VB6 programming language has used since 1998 !
