New public open-core VBA language platform project: RDCore
Hi! I'm the old (deleted) r/rubberduckvba account, now wearing a "social media manager" hat for my new private company 9562-7303 Québec inc., which was founded this last spring specifically to fulfill the vision of this project.
I've spent the past few weeks working double-time exclusively on the implementation and documentation of the spiritual successor to the Rubberduck VBIDE add-in project, RDCore - a modern, extensible, observable language server and analytics platform... not a VBE add-in.
As of today, the RDCore repository and its massive documentation site are public (although, contributions still closed pending a CLA).
While not a VBA project in itself, it seems to me that the complete reimplementation of the VBA language from its specifications makes an objectively interesting project to share and discuss here; perhaps a bit understandably underwhelming from an end-user (VBA dev) standpoint at this stage though.
This open-core project is very transparently managed with an eventual commercial interest, and the implications of its eventual completion have massive (very, very good!) consequences for all the legacy VBA code currently in existence worldwide.
