• Visual Basic A Modest Proposal for Microsoft

  I've been a Basic programmer for over 30 years and that whole time I've endured the constant reminder that I'm not a "real" programmer. I know better and you know better but still there's that stigma associated with being a Visual Basic programmer vs. being a C++ or a C# programmer.

So here's my suggestion, since Visual Basic.Net is about as much like Visual Basic as C# is like C, why not change the name of Visual Basic.net to B# Now instead of being a VB programmer, I'm a B# programmer. Sound ...Show All
