IS FreeBaisc still a thing nowadays ? I understand it's surely less popular, but are there people using it on HN ?

Have you checked out Gambas[1]?
I imagine 99% of its use are people maintaining quickbasic legacy apps.
Good question, I'm not even sure what I was looking up when I found that thread, I think I was curious about something else entirely, but as someone who learned to code with VB6 the link intrigued me, I mean come on, that thread title is just great.
I wanted FreeBASIC to have a RAD IDE back when I was still clinging to VB6 as it was being replaced by VB.NET. I hope someday Microsoft open sources bits and pieces of VB6.
