I need an original idea for a new software development tool, can be anything and since most of us are programmers I figured why not find out a great idea. Thank you.

(I don't plan on doing this myself)

Assembly-to-VB automatic porter. I concidered doing this once, but I didn't feel like it, because I was lazy.

Might seem like a big task, but remember, assembly is pretty simple, and theres not many ways a single line of code can be written.

add eax, 19
EAX = EAX + 19

inc eax
EAX = EAX + 1

etc.

If you need some help (which I doubt you will, but eh?) I'll be glad to lend it.

EDIT -
Extra credit, port to C++!

Heh. That's not easy at all. Entire PhDs have been done on the subject, and gotten only half way there. If you're really interested in this, you might want to look at the work done by Cifuentes and Van Emmerik.
