Four Microsoft Programming Languages Compared

Posted by michael on from the pick-your-poison dept.

C++ (.NET version), C#, J# and VB.NET are explored with features of each language outlined. There are no usual "pro and con" lists, so the ever-popular "default public access" made into the "features of VB."

    Now let me go get my enormous wallet and pay the trillion dollar tab to use them. Or maybe I should pull a Mr. Burns and use my trillion dollar bill?

    Yeah, the "OMIGOD MICROS0FT SI TEH DEVAL!!" rabidness is getting out of hand. .NET is a nice architecture, certainly a damn sight better than the god forsaken cruddy mix of C/C++/COM/DCOM/ActiveX/Fnord/WTF technologies they had before. Even gnome and GNU (GNU OF ALL ORGANIZATIONS!) is adopting the .NET (well, CLR) runtime. Good riddence to C/C++ hodgepodge.

    I want to see a more organized asm language. But rather than call it asm.net or something silly like that, let's just break the words down.
    It's ORGanized ASM, so we can call it ORGASM.
    I bet we get a LOT of college students who want to try it out. ;)
