The Great Coding Debate. C# Vs. VB

I'm making this topic cause i see a lot of people over the vast thing we call the internet. Arguing about which of the two are better and function better, I personally know how i feel but i wanna hear other peoples views on it.

I know im a C# guy for many reasons, One of which it is easier to move from C# to C++ then from VB to C++. It also is in my mind easier to understand and grasp the concept of then VB.

What do you guys think?

P.S. You cant add polls on this forum or am i dumb.

It's no that great of a debate. They are nearly identical. There is pretty much nothing you can make in VB that you can't make in C# and vice versa. Personally I prefer C#, but that isn't because of performance/functionality differences, I just like C# better.

in all seriousness, C# and VB at the end of the day are essentially the same, .NET. Different code, same applications?

I think of it as a debate because of all the fighting about it, and people thinking one is better. I know both are same just that different styles, And functionality for certain things.

A solution, do not use .NET

!!

Use .NET it pwns!

I like C# better because the syntax is aestetically pleasing to me, i think the VB syntax looks like shit. Its like:

adljfodshfoewhsddjhfierrhfdsjnknvinasfd()
hdhjaodhfdjlfewoifhdjfkljasbvnjahiuerhf()

/schwarzenegger voice
/stallone voice

Also i think VirtualDUDE Rage Quit.

I know it's not exactly like that but thats just what my brain sees it as. Lemme make it easer to visualize what my brain sees.

C#:

VB:

I don't like VB cause its almost 99% text based like

Private sub blah
dim int = 0;
end sub

to me it looks like

fdgdsfgsdfg
sdfgsdgsd
sfgsdgsd

i need my Brackets {} I <3 them so

really? to me it looks like english, and if you read english text like

fdgdsfgsdfg
sdfgsdgsd
sfgsdgsd

i think you should get some eyes checked

Meh, curly brackets get annoying.
Like this:

[highlight=C#]
//
}
}
}
}
}
[/highlight]

And it's really easy to forget one and not realize.

Thats why you use an IDE, it tells you if you missed one or not.

forgetting to add } is like forgetting to add End or whatever, so i guess same for both. Though when you build it, it will tell you where it is missing?

Yes, but in VB the closing parts have keywords like...

[highlight=vb.net]
'
End If
End Using
End While
End Function
[/highlight]

So if you forget one at least you don't have to scroll up to see what opened each of the curly brackets. But meh, as I said, I like C#

Code:

Private void DestroyVB(bool Destroy)
{
   if(Destroy)
    {
       File.Delete("VB");
     }
}

Win.

I wanna see some one go from VB to C++ without having the Shit confused out of them.
