I'm not surprised that there's still some VB6 apps doing important work out there. Just as I'm not surprised to see features added to ancient RPG programs or web services being created to wrap a bunch of FoxPro modules. Old doesn't mean bad; if it has worked until now, why throw it away.
In 10 years those apps will probably still run, but the countless NodeJs packages and ruby gems and whatnot that are currently hosted on github will be gone.
I will like to amend that in stating that there will probably be some NodeJS packages and Ruby gems that will be running important pieces of software 10 years from now. Like there was countless VB6 software 10 years back.
Dynamically binding, you realize the magic. Statically binding, you see only the hierarchy.
