A new platform called AxonASP is enabling legacy scripting languages like Classic ASP and VBScript to run on modern operating systems including Linux, Windows, and macOS. The project utilizes a custom execution engine built in Go, featuring a virtual machine for VBScript and an internal JavaScript engine, to execute code without relying on external interpreters. AI-assisted development has been instrumental in accelerating compatibility work, identifying edge cases, and generating test scenarios, ultimately allowing for the incremental modernization of old applications rather than complete rewrites.

A developer has created a 200-line open-source toolkit to address three minor issues encountered when running Claude Code via Telegram on Windows. The toolkit resolves a visual annoyance of multiple command windows appearing on login by using VBScript to hide the console windows. It also fixes a problem where the Telegram polling mechanism would stop receiving messages by implementing a script to kill orphaned Telegram processes before starting a new session. Finally, it prevents a scenario where running multiple Claude Code instances simultaneously could lead to a zombie process issue. AI
