Perhaps, if (and only if) they had dropped the stupid curly brances which is not "normal" in a language no matter what the origin. If the structure of functions and commands did not have meaningless clutter. Unnecessary and unwanted and serve no purpose other than obfuscation. 2p Max -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Shamil Salakhetdinov Sent: Monday, March 15, 2010 8:52 PM To: 'Discussion concerning Visual Basic and related programming issues.' Subject: Re: [dba-VB] Recent Discussion from MS on VB.Net and C# in VS 2010 Hi Dan -- <<< ...because it's easier to read... >>> Well what of the following code lines is easier to read/understand/code for a (beginner) programmer?: string line = "test"; or dim line as string = "test" IMO (just IMO) defining a string variable named 'line' with initial value equal to "test" is directly translated to C#'s code line: string line = "test"; but not to a VB.NET one... And there could be found many samples like that one above, more complicated samples, which will highlight "one-to-one" correspondence between C# coding and algorithmic specifications... IMO (just IMO, I'm not trying to start a discussion here) C# is more straightforward and laconic, and is expected to become "preferred" programming language over time...

Subject: [dba-VB] Recent Discussion from MS on VB.Net and C# in VS 2010 http://blogs.msdn.com/scottwil/archive/2010/03/09/vb-and-c-coevolution.aspx This is pretty good info - I think. It looks like the functionality differences between the two languages from now on will be inconsequential. For that reason, I'm going to predict that over time VB.Net will become the preferred language - just because it's easier to start with because it's easier to read.
