Posted that VC6 screenshot yesterday (Reddit link: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/comments/1lv2l6x/still_writing_mfc_code_at_50_saved_this/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/comments/1lv2l6x/st... ).
Some folks thought it was an old pic — nah, that was taken two days ago on my Win11 machine.
VC6 still runs. Sadly, so do I.
- nake89 1y agoWow! I didn't know it can run on Win11! I have it running on my retro VM, which is a windows 98. I've was trying to learn some C++ a month back. I've stuck with C++98 so that those skills would be somewhat transferable to VC6. But I always run issues with the syntax being a bit different. It'll compile on my g++ with c++98 settings, but not on my VC6 on my Win98. I'll get back to it at some point. Currently I'm writing a SPA app that runs on my Win98 in IE5.5. It's been so much fun.
- CodeAndExile 1y agoThat actually sounds awesome. Running IE5.5 on Win98 for a SPA app? Respect. And yeah, VC6 still works on my Win11 machine
