Hug a developer!
-
I switched from C# (3 years, before that C++) to VB on my last job, for the last 6 months. In one word, it's the same problems, same solutions, .NET is .NET. So I am really amused when hard-minded C, C++ or C# developers ( I include myself in that group), make fun of VB.NET (it's just a tool as the other languages, and it's not easier or harder than those other languages that so called 'hard' programers use). P.S. C++ RULES :)
I code in c# and vb and both are neat... altho c# has some good points, vb has inline xml and better COM interop... But I still couldn't get the joke... :)

I have no issue with using one over the other & I have no intention of starting a religious war but I prefer C# as I find it to be syntactically more elegant whereas VB feels bloated to me. VB can't help that it's bloated, it just is. Consider
Dim myVar As MyTypeversusMyType myVar;- both do the same thing but C# does it in almost half the keystrokes. VB.NET - programmings fat kid.But fortunately we have the nanny-state politicians who can step in to protect us poor stupid consumers, most of whom would not know a JVM from a frozen chicken.

I gave up when I couldn't spell "egg". Justine AllenSee, that's the problem with the C# people. You act like the VB people just don't get it and you wonder why. First, you are arrogant for no reason. Secondly, Visual Basic is more "bloated" as you put it because it is much closer to the English language. That is something as programmers we are supposed to be working for. The eventual goal is to be able to just tell the computer what to do in plain english, whether it is written or spoken. It is people like you that are so stuck in the past that you can't see the future. The whole reason that the C syntax was designed so much more "elegantly" as you put it, is because when it was created decades ago they didn't have the large amounts of storage space that we have now. Well, now we do. It is the C#, Java, and C++ adherents who are keeping programming back. The C, C#, C++, and Java syntax is so STUPID, as to be unbelievable. Computer programs are supposed to make our lives easier, yet they insist on programming with a syntax that was originally created in the early 70's!

Wrong on both counts. I simply prefer one language over the other. I am entitled to have a choice & I have made it. I used VB.NET for many years and still occasionally need to use it. It's a tool to me like any other, but my preference is for C#. The point of a board like this is open discussion, I ventured an opinion. It's sad that you feel the need to try draw me into an argument about the inconsequential. That's your choice I suppose. And mine is to ignore you.

I gave up when I couldn't spell "egg". Justine AllenFirst off you didn't just express a preference. You stated why you thought the C# language was better than VB, which is a far, far cry from simply saying you have a preference. Also, if you are choosing to ignore me, then why did you respond to my post? Confused again? YOU started this by expressing your inane point, AND putting down VB. The best part is that instead of countering my arguments you just said I was wrong without giving a single reason why. That's certainly a way to win a debate. I state facts and you just yell back that I am wrong and that you're not going to talk to me anymore. You have proven my point better than any facts ever could. You have no legitimate reason, you are just an elitist and you like to feel superior. When you’re challenged you back down and slink off to the corner. It IS people like you that are keeping programming from advancing.
