I'd stay anonymous with a post like that too. You need to provide some links to support your assetions of 'proof'. First off C# inherits much more from Java than from C++ (which suggests you know little about either). Second 'appearance' has little to do with the quality of a language. I personally prefer the curly braces, they make it much easier to see what the nesting is. To even suggest that what language is used has ANY impact on the user is absurd, particularly if you are talking about C# vs VB.Net (since the both compile to identical intermediate code (MSIL) and both use the same runtime environment). Your post only reveals your complete lack of knowlege about any of the languages you mention. Get a life. Learn to program in some other languages.

Indeed - god bless Visual Assist[^]. It allows me to code in C# at the same pace as those privaleged VB users. In fact, probably faster as I have a huge library of common tasks pre-saved in it now with handy shortcuts.

The big difference taht many don't realize is that you can hang a picture with a BIG hammer if you are skillful and careful but you can't build a house with a little hammer no matter how hard you try and how good a carpenter you are. So if you must choose - choose the BIG hammer. Learn ASM then C then C++ ( big hammer ). With a BIG hammer you can beat the hell out of anything. Wonder what language they used to write the .NET libs ?

Along with some misspelled words, I think you misspelled your name, too. Shouldn't that be VBtheBeast. Oh, and I can't wait for Christian to read your post. :) Chris Meech I am Canadian.

But that is not to imply that you can't hang a picture with a big hammer and a big nail. :) This was a reply to Stan...seems the reply feature is hosed.

Mate, I was a VB user and still defend its uses but you are, like, you know, doing us a total disfavour with this post. Plus you put it in the SB which is just a double waste. regards, Paul Watson South Africa PMW Photography Gary Wheeler wrote: It's people like you that keep me heading for my big debut on CNN...

So, when you ask someone about their programming language skills, you ask "how's the hammer hanging?" ;) -- An eye for an eye will only make the world blind.

Forget VB, everyone should use COBOL. :)

What! Are you crazy man? I already know how to handle the big hammer and now you say that everybody should learn how to use the good old supersized sledgehammer! Behind every great black man... ... is the police. - Conspiracy brother Blog[^]

naw, COBOL is too illogical, basing itself too much on English.... Go Forth and get a Snowball compiler that speaks with a Lisp. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)
