Re: Not Another C# Versus VB Article (It has a lot to say about Anders and Delphi)

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Arjang,

This paragraph in the article shows everything about its quality.
------------
80% of C# programmers are good, while 80% of VB programmers are not good.
This is not to say that everyone who programs in VB is less skilled than
everyone who programs in C#. This is to say that (a) the VB syntax and
semantics is designed to attract less skilled programmers and, in
combination with other factors examined above, this has created a culture
that is populated with less skilled programmers and (b) because VB syntax
and semantics make it more difficult to avoid common programming errors and
hence to program well
-------------.

Beside that the author is comparing Apples with computers, does he in the
rest of is article and his conclusion not take the impact of his sentence.

This sentence of him means that there are enormous much more good VB
programmers than that there are good C# programmers?

This article shows for me something as a person who is in doubt if he took
the right choose, however tries to proof the world that he did.
