Gambas 1.0 Release Candidate Available
raindog2 writes "After two and a half years of development, Gambas has become the first Visual Basic-style environment for Linux to enter release candidate status. Anyone who has been frustrated by a lack of production-quality free RAD environments should give it a try."
Linux doesn't need a VB-like environment. It will only encourage bad things. There is no getting around the essential complexities of designing and writing software. Tools that make things "easier" can be used by those who udnerstand the complexities to make their job easier. But time has proven that the easier the tool becomes to use, the larger percentage of its userbase tends to be dumbasses who can't code their way out of a paper bag without said tool. This leads to bad projects and code by people who had no business getting into this sort of thing. You can avoid and discourage this whole situation to some degree by not designing tools that tend to empower idiots to do bad things.

"D00d, I don't know why anyone would need these wack RAD tools. All I need is 4 console sessions, my gcc command-line compiler, and I'm ready to rock. All this bloated RAD stuff is for the kids."
Typical Linux hack.
GNAA freedom fighters attack mbonig into submission
Cakedrink KillsPics - Sinclair Broadcasting Correspondent
In the GNAA's continued effort to combat mindless idiocy, blogging, and bigoted oppression of gay nigger rights, GNAA member Penisbird has announced victory over mindless slashbot and blogger mbonig.
In true Hitlerian fashion, mbonig wanted to deny freedom speech to gay black men under the guise of his own nazi-esque values of censorship. "Gasgaynigs", mbonig was quoted as saying to a swooning crowd of neo-nazis ready for a golden shower of his drivel.
GNAA member Penisbird, who is considered of one of the most gifted and intelligent members, according to the GNAT or Gay Nigger Aptitude Test, excellently crafted his arguments against the nazi, as shown here, and was able to counter every point with concise and irrefutable facts. In the usual Slashdot hypocrisy, anyone who fights for the legitimate rights of the unpopular is considered a troll and this thread was no different.
The tragic defeat on Slashdot forced mbonig to retreat to his blog and admit that the GNAA's posts are free speech (unlike what he said earlier) while at the same time slandering Penisbird's impeccable character. Penisbird does not tolerate such insolence and proceeded to attack his wretched blog.
In the most skilled fashion, Penisbird proceeded to flood his blog as a form of legitimate protest. Like an relentless flood of nigger cocks, Mbonig (which is an intentional slur against niggers) tried to squelch the massive flood of protest posts by deleting hundreds of comments but could not keep up. His next step was to disable commenting for a couple of days. The very morning he restored comments and declared that by requiring logins, the attacks would cease. Wrong. Penisbird was on the attack and continued the assault.
After the morning offensive, mbonig quickly and embarrassingly disabled comments, declaring that "script kiddies" (the scripts in question consist of Microsoft Internet Explorer and the refresh button) do not deserve the same free speech rights he enjoys. However, Penisbird was victorious in that he caused mbonig to permanently disable comments. Penisbird vows to keep up the assault on his Slashdot posts and anywhere else he tries to oppress free speech rights online.
mbonig claims that he is not hiding who he is. Really? What is your last name? Where do you live? Oh, it seems that you are hiding who you are. Hypocrite.

Maybe in VB.Net, I haven't looked at it. But earlier versions of VB are impossible to write good code in.
One reason is error handling. How am I supposed to take a language seriously when the closest I can get to structured error handling is(Don't nitpick syntax please, it's been years since I've been poor enough to have to consider writing VB code to survive, and last time that happened I chose to sell my body instead as it seemed the less shameful option.)
