I would be absolutely fascinated to see whether you can build a search engine in Visual Basic!
It seems you have a very pragmatic and humanistic mindset, but at the same time all the conventional wisdom of software development tells me you can't run a successful startup on VB. Good luck and I look forward to learning how it turns out! Hopefully you'll smash my preconceptions :)
- graycat 12y agoI'm not using the old Visual Basic version 6 or whatever it was -- I never did use it. And I'm not using Visual Basic script, VBS, or whatever it was -- never used it either. I'm using Visual Basic .NET which is essentially equivalent to C# and, thus, essentially the most powerful programming language on Windows. Compared with C#, Visual Basic .NET is mostly just a different flavor of syntactic sugar. So, I have full access to the .NET Framework with ASP.NET, ADO.NET, SQL Server, etc. and, thus, have a language quite capable of running a serious server farm.
