C# 4.0: VB revisited

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

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

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

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. :)

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. ;)

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:
My Bookmarks I clicked the link. In an instant I was transported 15 years back in time.
I'm at IronButt version 1.2.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Default parameters would be a welcomed addition. I liked using them in C++, but they complicated the use of function overloading - you essentially had to choose between function overloading, or using default parameters.
