And if I say Visual Basic is the best without backing that up, who of us
would be right? Yes you say "is the best <> that compiles to native
code", but you don't say why that is a good thing, or why it IS the
best.

That is a much better sentence then the one above.

P.S. reading back what i wrote it can be interpreted as a bit harsh, but
it is not meant that way. I just mean to say everybody has a language of
choice, and you have a high risk of saying that language is the best.
When you do so please add "in my opinion" or a link to a benchmark (not
that benchmarks mean a lot, since you can probably find a benchmark for
any case you want)
