Another Shrimp?

Gambas is Visual Basic for Linux! In the author's own words:

I took from Visual Basic what I found useful : the Basic language, the
development environment, and the easiness to quickly make programs with user
interfaces.
But I dislike the very bad level of common Visual Basic
programmers, often due to bad pratices imposed by the bugs and strangeness of
this language. So I will try to make Gambas as coherent, logical and reliable as
possible, and I hope that Gambas programmers will make effort in return ! ;-)

Apparently it's been 3 years in the writing... I wonder if Gambas will do for Linux what VB did for Windows app development? Note there's also a similar (non-open source) tool called KBasic, which aims to support MacOS in the future.
