Gambas – open-source Basic for Linux inspired by VB

Man, blast from the past.

I'd -love- something like this that could hook into other languages directly. Python/Rust/Go/Zig/Whatever. It wouldn't even need to compile, just output the working code all together. I'd probably pay a lot of money for it, in fact.

Hey! You should definitely check Abstra! It is a Python Visual Basic on your vscode that outputs webapps https://www.abstracloud.com/editor

How is this in any way similar?

Is Gambas not also a drag and drop GUI builder, but for BASIC?

It is also it's own IDE, doesn't rely on microsoft's IDE, and it creates a native application, not a website.

Qt designer is drag and drop GUI builder… is C++ now the same too?

Not C++ the language. But Qt designer is like Gambas, but for C++.

So all these things are indeed similar.

If the end result is a webpage, it's more like frontpage.
