Instead of doing

    console.alert("Hello World")
We would do (VB)

    MsgBox("Hello World")
Or maybe (Delphi)

    MessageBox("Hello World");
Only hard core C devs bothered to use Win32 directly.

Look, if we start comparing today's way of writing end-user applications to Delphi we're just going to sit here crying all the time. It was a beauty and a blessing, and I've never seen any way to develop GUI applications surpass the Delphi Visual Component Library.

Once upon a time, this was a solved problem.
