Hey, I'm attempting to make a simple program. (User would input, program would respond with a set phrase) You seem approachable enough, What language would I use for that and how would I start?

So 95 lines of code to throw up a small window that says, "Hello, Windows desktop". Is that correct???? 95 lines of code!
I do not understand why Microsoft got rid of their visual programming languages. You could throw up a window form with a textbox saying "Hello, Windows desktop" in about 15 seconds. Perhaps I am missing something but 95 lines of code seems extremely excessive compared to what you used to be able to do with MS visual don't understand why they have gotten rid of them? Can someone explain it me?

Hello, I attempted to build this code in VS community 22 and get an error "unresolved external symbol main referenced in function "int_cdecl invoke_main(void)" LNK2019. Also I get a local variable is not initialized warning, but I never see you initialize the variable. Anyways, if you see this, maybe it's because of the new VS compiler. Just trying to get a grip on C++, written I'm CSharp in the past. So I'm not entirely new to this.
