goodbye vb
After programming for a year in C# and using VB occasionally, I can’t tell you what the difference is. With the exception of a the key words, the two languages are the same to me. I still hate semicolons every where and the defaults for the C# brackets are ugly.
With that being said, I perfer C# to vb now. Sorry Beth Massi. It’s nothing that vb has done. I can do everything I need to do in C# in VB. The force pushing me to C# is the internet. All the blogs I follow and the open source "projects"http://www.nunit.org/index.php I use have written their code in C#.
Now it may sound like I’m following the crowd, but I don’t think that is a bad thing. By switching to C#, I don’t think I will be able to code better. However by doing so, I’ve eliminated the context switching I have to do. When I look at their example code or the source code of the project. I can look at the examples and my code to see where I have gone wrong with out having to translate anything in my head.
So farwell VB. It’s been fun and I hope we meet again some day.
