[AccessD] Moving to .Net (was Ded Moroz sends you ...)

Hi Mark:

Maybe you could look at Effel.Net (http://www.eiffel.com/) I have no idea of
the costs but understand that there was a free(?) introductory version. It
also runs of the latest MS framework and runs cross platforms.

I have no more than seen it but a good friend, from Calgary, has been using
it for about a year and says it is the most concise language he has ever
used...and he has worked with them all (Java, VB, C, C++, Ruby-on-Rails,
Cobol).

Jim

The only thing that I worry about with dot-net: VERBOSITY.
It reminds me of COBOL in some ways (back to the future !).
Great languages are CLEAR, CONCISE and ELEGANT in their use of statements
and references. I always felt that was the case with VBA.

But I guess the great Visual Studio IDE takes care of that problem.
Think about this: Can you imagine knocking out a dot-net application in
Notepad ?

As you can see, the IDE has become PRIMO in terms of importance as far as
developer productivity.
