Ok, i can have a based comment here.
Executable disblaying a Form with a Label and a Button will create a ~500 kb binary. But thats not enough, you need to ship fscking vbrun wich is in its modernest incarnation ~500 kb in size.
And the best: VisualBASIC does not call normal GDI routines for making up the forms and handling the buttons, it uses its own slow routines that need to be shipped inside vbrun. Besides that, only the enterprise edition "tryes" to create assembler, all the others just create dumb bytecode that still is interpreted.
Now tell me why VB shouldnt be bloated? :evil:
