Hi, Searching list archives [1] for: VB and C and language and ( difference or better )
Gives a list of 506 articles with most of them related to subj. Tons of pro and cons for each particular language could be found there. And now the question: Is there someone who would take a challenge to go through all these articles, pick the most relevant of them and put some kind of article/overview (with links) on the web? -Valery.

Dr GUI.Net #0, November 2000 "When asked who Microsoft sees as the developer audience for VB, the answers were enlightening. Treadwell characterized developers as coming from two camps, those who would approach the problem of writing a tic-tac-toe game by drawing the UI first (VB developers) and those who would first create the classes and code required for the game logic ("computer science" developers). The interviewees said that Microsoft would make further alterations to VB to help target that entry-level audience. Unfortunately, no one would comment on exactly what such alterations might entail. So despite the relative parity that VB.NET has achieved within the .NET language family, it's still seen, internally, as the "entry-level" language" Anders Hejlsberg, David Treadwell, and Prashant Sridharan, Devx.com interview, Feb 2002 Richard * Try to ILDASM the following: Dim s As System.String s="hello" If s="" Then End If You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
