Ooh yes - definitely. I completely forgot that.

Hey, VB has one remaining virtue... Optional/Named parameters... C# doesn't get 'em until .NET 4.0

IUnkown was fine - it was IQueryInterface that introduced all the problems. ;P

Oh right... Good point. Let's steal that for C# too.

Quite true.

EVERY time I read your signature, I cringe :shudder: It is funny though :)

Right?! I'm sick and tired of that silly thing, why by the most nebulous star shine weren't they able to make it equal to DBNull or just plain null?!

Next you'll be wanting to drop the semicolon and case sensitivity.

No! The only time I've wanted something like that was when trying to copy values from one instance(?) to another
A.X = B.Xandwithonly saves typing one of the names, I'd want to save bothwith ( A , B ) X = X(or something) -

Drop the semi-colon? And be forced _ to resort to VB's _ horrible style of _ line continuations!?!? No thanks. Though the case sensitivity... I wouldn't have to deal with code where people name the private variables the same as the exposed properties, with just case differences... Or better yet, gems like:
int num = Num + NUM;
Thankfully, I've never actually seen a line that bad, but imagine a program written like that... There's something you can't do in VB.

BF doesn't hold a candle to Malbolge[^] for horror. "Malbolge was so difficult to understand when it arrived that it took two years for the first Malbolge program to appear. The program was not even written by a human being: it was generated by a beam search algorithm designed by Andrew Cooke and implemented in Lisp." "it took many years before the first non-terminating one was introduced. A correct 99 Bottles of Beer program, which deals with non-trivial loops and conditions, was not announced for eight years; the first correct one was by Hisashi Iizawa in 2007." (this isn't talking about adding a language feature; this is just figuring out how to do it in the existing malbolge language.)
