C# 4.0: VB revisited

http://www.infoq.com/news/2008/10/CSharp-Optional[^] Named parameters. Optional parameters. Dynamic (late-bound) types. About time. Maybe now we can let VB.NET fade into obscurity and bring everyone on board VB With Braces.

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.
I'm all Iron now, with added Iron and a sprinkling of Iron on top. Very much looking forward to IronC#, but I've a feeling the whole static/dynamic argument is cyclical and that VB6 will be the cure all :omg: :wtf:

I don´t know, the language is going through all this transformations...now it´s neither a low-level DIY language like C++ nor a little abstract language like SmallTalk... Anyway, I´m still amazed about the suppossed complexity of the typical problem that the typical IT guy working in an enterprise has to solve that it requires so much language complexity...:~

Naw, they're all still using VBScript. :rolleyes:

For sure. I mean, VB6 coders were probably the largest group of C++ users out there, and they must have gone somewhere... ;P

Naw, the C# converts are busy talkin' sour grapes: they're much more productive / anything that C# can't do doesn't need doing / C++ coders are stupid luddites / etc. :-\

Fifty years from now when all you have to do is speak into Visual Studio no one will care. :)

Any article that uses the non-word "irregardless" is not to be taken seriously.

It will be nice to have a language with straight teeth for a change. Now if she can handle Prolog-style lists with such constructs as [head] and [tail] she'll be really useful. ;)

That's what I said when HP introduced hpl; look where that got me... Bullhead City. :sigh:

They have their uses. Dog handlers, for instance - they really know pointers. And they should be as good at spotting syntax errors as COBOL programmers - Bog knows they've had enough practice.

I don't think that analogy works... The biggest difference between VBA and VB6 is the ability to compile standalone programs. I've used VBA in instances where I didn't have VB6 at my disposal. The vast majority of functionality is identical (VB6 even uses the VBA libraries) VBScript and C++ are completely different creatures entirely.
I don't claim to be a know it all, for I know that I am not...
I usually have an answer though.

I'm all Iron now, with added Iron and a sprinkling of Iron on top. Very much looking forward to IronC#, but I've a feeling the whole static/dynamic argument is cyclical and that VB6 will be the cure all :omg: :wtf:

I'm at IronButt version 1.2.
