If I recall correctly, you could write new code during debugging sessions, move the pointer to it and run it. Very dynamic. We can now do some of these things in VS or other tools with .Net, however VB was much more powerful in this regard. I can only recall there being one statement that required a rebuild - was it CreateObject or similar?
You can do the same thing in many languages derived from LISP, but supporting all that runtime monkey patching requires having dynamic indirections everywhere which add a ton of overhead.
