Wrong language detection for VB6 repository

[Gagniuc]

Wrong language detection in VB6 repository (Visual Basic 6.0). For instance:

#5824

The question is how long it will take to solve this issue? How long it usually takes?

It takes as long as it takes for someone to submit a PR to add support/modify the current classification 😁.

We rely almost exclusively on community contributions as there are so many languages out there.

Once the PR has been submitted, it'll need to be discussed, reviewed and then merged. The change will then go into GitHub the next time a release is made, which depends on my work load, which puts it at about once every 2-3 months ATM.

There may be added delays/complications with this as noted in my comment at #5824 (comment)

Thank you.

Please remember that .vbp and .vbw extensions are unique to the VB6 language. Thus, if any VBA files are accompanied by .vbp and .vbw extensions, than all repository is Visual Basic 6.0. Just look on any of my repositories on VB6.

In short:

VB6 - if (.bas and/or .cls and/or .frm and/or .frx) and .vbp and .vbw exist.
VBA - if (.bas and/or .cls and/or .frm and/or .frx) but no .vbp and .vbw exist.

VBScript - if .vbs exists.
VB.NET - if .vb exists.

Note also that the presence of any .xlsm file implies the presence of VBA. Also note that VB6 is the only programming language among these (it is fully compiled).

That's not how Linguist works. See my comment at #5824 (comment)
