Yes, VB is obscene...(I hack perl(hack as in w/axe..not subtle yet) &&
C(better) && C++(best but not yet a guru))...however, in the interests of
assimilation (the better to conquer) VB should be ported so all those poor
unenlightened folk who use it have a chance to be sucked into the coolest
OS on the planet and eased into a real script/programming lang.
Who says an OSS port of VB can't be better than MS's own? If someone wants
to use basic to program in who are we to say yech? Every script/programming
lang comes with plenty of rope (to mung a phrase). I may like sisal rope
but hey if you want to hang yourself w/twine fine.
Oh crap, I just entered a holy war...and I'm agnostic ;-)
Cheers,
Mike
