gberginc4517yNearly 10 years ago I worked on a project that used VB, VB.net and C#. I did not care about the language itself, because the language to me is usually just a tool.
However, what devs did with VB was amazing: functions getting 30+ params, 15kLOC functions, goto for every decision, everything was somewhat number-coded (no enums)... that was the real pain - but guys working on the original SW for 30years (yeah!) knew every little detail there was. -
Never had a problem with it. Have worked on stacks that have both c# and vb and both were clean and organized as hell. VB is really not a bad language at all. And it has a band reputation that comes mostly from vb 6 which i think its unfair as well since vb 6 was really not that bad. I do have prefferences, and dislike some languages, but it comes most from personal prefference than actual complaints for the language. I also did VBscript professionally and did not rwally had any gripes with it, sure its dated and i could not do many things that i could do with other languagrs, but if you know propper system design and architecture you can make stuff out lf anything without killing yerself. What I am trying to say is: 10/10 would BASIC again.
