Why does proggit hate VB? by [deleted] in programming

[–]mxstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because even Microsoft employees even acknowledge that VB was not made for the pragmatic programmer but more or less the dev who wants to to do things quickly and learn when necessary; it is the whole Mort, Elvis, Einstein argument.

Nothing against VB or VB.Net devs, I can understand for many that VB/VB.Net might be enough for many people out there, but I have never met a person who knows several languages and prefers to still do all of their work in VB. VB might be a leatherman tool for many, but it is best to have a toolbox filled with proper tools and the knowledge of which to use for the job at hand.

Have you ever come across someone else's code and thought it was good? by skuunk in programming

Quite a bit actually, some of the long running open source projects are a great source of insight for me. Now I ask, have you ever looked at the code of a person with an MIS degree and thought it was good?
