What language do you use?
- edw519 16y agoBASIC, php, and javascript
- makeramen 16y agowoah, where are you using BASIC? excuse the naivety but I’m not sure I’ve heard anyone use that professionaly in... ever.
- donw 16y agoI don't knw what edw does, but there are a lot of small businesses that need small one-off desktop apps, for which VB is perfect.
- logic 16y agoAgreed here; I've seen that a lot with in-house stuff. At my wife's former employer, almost all of the internally-developed stuff that she supported was a mashup of VB, Access, PowerShell, and third-party tools that they glued together.
- ramchip 16y agoI could understand this, but I've never heard of the all-capital BASIC referring to Visual Basic.
- jpr 16y agoModern VB is certainly good for that. But calling it BASIC is like calling Common Lisp LISP.
- axod 16y agoThe 'b' still stands for "beginners" whatever you call it.
- mkramlich 16y agoassuming you're serious.... why that mix? why BASIC today in a world where Python exists, Java, Ruby, Lisps, C, etc.?
- mmaunder 16y agoedw is obviously a smart guy and I too have not heard of BASIC used in production or for anything recently for that matter, so I find myself very curious and would love to know more about how you're using it. I'm a Perl developer btw and many here consider that on a par with BASIC and might ask the same question of me.
