[dba-VB] Recent Discussion from MS on VB.Net and C# in VS 2010

Hi Shamil,

Well - I'm just getting started with VB.  I think those curly braces are
weird and off putting!

I do believe that VB.Net will be preferred over time - all other things
being equal the easy path is the one more trodden!

Hi Dan --

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...

Thank you :)

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.

Dan
