Why Visual Basic is Better Than C#
- usedtolurk 15y agoOver the years I have gradually come to prefer VB too. I find it slightly easier to read and also easier to explain to noobs. I particularly prefer ... End If Next i End Sub to ... } } } That said it's easy enough to adjust and I often don't even notice which language sample code is written in.
- rohansingh 15y agoNearly every point in this post is easily refuted. As I read, at points I thought it was going to be satire. The author obviously has no idea how `switch` actually works, doesn't understand the difference between IDE tooling and the actual language, and isn't aware of C# features that he claims it doesn't have. How is this taken seriously?
- angdis 15y agoWhy do you say he doesn't understand how switch works? What is he "obviously" misunderstanding?
- angdis 15y agoAs far as I can tell there is a one-to-one mapping between constructs in VB and C#. Once you get past the syntax of each, they look "the same". I find it slightly annoying that Microsoft doesn't just drop C# or VB, the resulting "shock" to developers would actually be far less than when they dropped VB6.
- motoford 15y agoSeriously, no "PMT" in c# is listed? Am I missing something or do you guys need to calculate mortgage payments so often that it needs to be a built in function of a language? There are a couple of valid points in this article, the rest is hogwash.
