Why C# sucks...

...because it takes longer to say than to write !!! Sorry, but I got a bit bored of the VB.NET bashing, and throught I'd have a bit of retaliation ;P Let's not forget that VisualBasic is in fact a visualised Beginners All Symbolic Instruction Coding language. The clue is in the name. :cool:

Yes, you're right. I stand corrected. :doh:

If C# sucks, that's just because it is VB with some additional semi-colons and curly braces. If you want to compare C# to some other .NET language, learn F# or IronScheme. Not that either of them is used much in real life projects but at least they are different than C#/VB and there is something to compare.

Never mind the fact that VB uses exactly the same framework as C#, and in fact can do things that C# cannot such as reference extensions.

A religious debate? Both languages have their merits, both exist for a reason. ..and there's more to .NET than C# and .NET :)

Personally I'm happy coding in either as long as I'm being paid but for me....... 1. I find it much easier to create bugs in VB that I can't so easily make in C# 2. If I need to 'borrow' some code courtesy of Google/ go through an MVC tutorial etc (why re-invent the wheel ?) then what I find is more likely to be in C#. Re-writing it in VB isn't that hard but it does slow things down. 3. A lot of the tools available to help you write better code more quickly only seem to work fully with C# (throw them a bit of VB and it might work but you won't get all the features you had if it was C#). Yes I know I arguably shouldn't need any of these at all but the end result is I'm confident I can produce better bug resistant code more quickly in C# than I can in VB and that's what I'm getting paid for. Mostly I don't get a choice of language (existing VB projects and manager preference if there's a chance he'll have to work on it) but when I do it's C# and the projects always seems to go better.
