So you were at a competency level where you couldn't get Hello world to work, switched to another language and based on that, conclude that your choice of language plus editor is miles ahead of anything MS could offer?
- alextingle 16y agoI think he said that the MS toolchain was incapable of compiling a simple hello world program. How did you make the mental leap from that to questioning his competence??
- waterlesscloud 16y agoI don't think it's much of a leap to question the programmer rather than the compiler when "Hello World" won't compile. Maybe it's the compiler, but there would need to be some evidence that it was so before I went with that option.
- jrockway 16y agoWe called Microsoft and they said, "yeah, don't use managed C++ in this version of VS."

- kenjackson 16y agoPeople ported Quake II to managed C++ and you can't get "Hello World" to work? No offense, but it's you. http://www.vertigosoftware.com/Quake2.htm http://www.vertigosoftware.com/Quake2.htm
- MortenK 16y agoIt's more like a mental babystep. If you are not able to compile Hello world in a given toolchain, that says more about your competence with that particular toolchain, than it does about the toolchain itself.
