Calling all vber’s

I am sick and tired of the relentless bagging of the VB language by other languages. I hear it in your comments vber’s, well I know I’m writing in vb but? You’re given up demanding VB code examples be given and submitting to the blogs hate messages, VB is dead. Stop being brainwash by other languages that we are inferior. The other languages have come to VB land not us to theirs, those who deny us the vb code samples are other language leaders. The .net engine is designed to incorporate several languages into VB land not the other way round. The VB team has done a great job and we are better. Squiggly brackets is like the days when man ate with his hands, come on we have spoons and forks, catch up already. Some history Our VB King was the trailblazer that made the brand the best in the world and while you other languages gasp and you feel your blood pressure spiral, that’s how I feel every time I see negative comments about my language. But lets have a look at the success of the VB Hive since the integration, over ten years ago our VB King shook a tablet at us and told us that this was the future, but what happen since our king let other languages leaders to rule our code world! We have been scrabbling to keep up with everyone else. Under the C# watch we have miss major events, oh I don’t know like, mobile phones, the tablet just to name a major few. VB land under the King has change from leaders to followers under the C# leaders. VB land has grown to accommodate other languages and they have shaken their code bible at us for too long, telling us that they will dominate us to their language and beliefs. I see that C# is become the mess that JavaScript is with 100 ways to do the same thing, lesson here for the VB team don’t simulate. Be proud vber’s we are the indigenous coders and are the westernized world and not let third world languages make us feel bad to admit we are Vber’s

I make a good living developing VB.NET code. I'm kind of forced into using it because the application which I support is developed in VB.NET, but I find nothing wrong with it. I've been coding for a long time (20+ years) and used lots of languages over the years, each with its own strengths. So far, I haven't found anything that I couldn't do in VB.NET My 2 cents. :rose:

Have my 5 for an excellent and justified rant. Having said that I have to devise a strategy to move all our VB devs to C#, not because of any perceived differences in the languages but the volume of support and resources and the need to standardise our development platform.

It's a nice rant, but you're pissing into the wind. The abuse VB.NET, inherited, will never end because VB is more verbose than most languages. Myself, I don't give a crap either way. I get paid the same whether the code I write is in C/C++, C#, VB.NET, VBscript, or whatever.

+5 for a good rant. I coded in VB and VB.Net for years, and even though I now use C# almost exclusively, I still keep up to date with developments in the VB world. There sure is nothing wrong with VB.Net, and is definitely not inferior to C# in any way.
When I was a coder, we worked on algorithms. Today, we memorize APIs for countless libraries — those libraries have the algorithms - Eric Allman

I have enjoyed developing in VB.NET for many years well since framework 2.0 and before / during uni I worked in vb with rdo. but feel that your rant even though justified will only be heard by vb'ers as the age old flaming of vb against other languages has been around as long as vb 5 as long as I can remember. but sadly I have had to suggest to my boss that we switch to c#, due to resources through the web (even thought converting them to vb isn't difficult) and recruitment of vb developers where I work is difficult to source

I agree A lot of people are starting and are using VB for it's ease of use, the enormous snippet, tutorial, documentation and help available out there. Microsoft has spend and still is spending tons of money to make this language more and more sophisticated. Just remember Cobol back in the 80ies where programmer sware that this was the only good language for accounting purposes, where is it today? Dead! VisualBasic has been around since 1991, and is stronger today that it never was. You can use it with all office application, and also autocad, sageaccpac to name a few with the derivative VBA.
