{{draft task}}Some languages (like gambas and visual basic) support two startup modes. Applications written on these platforms start with an open window that waits for events, and it is necessary to do some jiggerypokery to cause a main procedure to run instead.
{{draft task}}Some languages (like gambas and visual basic) support two startup modes. Applications written in these languages start with an open window that waits for events, and it is necessary to do some jiggerypokery to cause a main procedure to run instead. Data driven or event driven languages may also require similar trickery to force a startup procedure to run.
