Key differences between VB6 and Wren
| Characteristic | VB6 | Wren |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | BASIC-like, verbose, uses 'End' statements, case-insensitive, designed for readability. | C-like, concise, uses braces for blocks, case-sensitive, modern scripting style. |
| Paradigm | Primarily event-driven and object-based, supports procedural programming. | Object-oriented and imperative, supports classes and methods, no inheritance. |
| Typing | Static typing with some dynamic features, variables can be declared without types (Variant). | Dynamically typed, variables do not require explicit type declarations. |
| Performance | Compiled to native code or p-code, generally fast for desktop applications of its era. | Interpreted, lightweight and fast for a scripting language, but not as fast as compiled languages. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich set of built-in GUI and database libraries, many third-party components (now outdated). | Minimal standard library, few third-party libraries, designed to be embedded in other applications. |
| Community and support | Large historical community, but official support ended; legacy resources still available. | Small but active community, ongoing development, limited resources compared to mainstream languages. |
| Learning curve | Gentle learning curve, designed for beginners and rapid application development. | Moderate learning curve, simple core concepts but less documentation and tooling. |
