Debate on Python versus VBnet

[RandoomDude]

They're not both popular. It's clear you haven't used vb.net very much.

Where do you live ?inside a box?Linux is bad than win 98.
I have been using vb.net for 3 years(I am saying this to nilamo in a friendly way.please dont ban me)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA your lack of knowledge is showing. All major distros have almost always been better than 98. You might have had a legit argument if you said XP, but that wouldn't even be accurate anymore either.

Wow! I use only Linux for many years and can't even imagine going back to Windows.

Don't ever say anything that "wise"   again. Unless your goal is to be a laughing stock of the community   . Though I am afraid you are already there

This list of programming languages popularity places Python at a honorable 5th position, VB - 16th.

More interesting - and I quote

Visual Basic (VB) was designed by Microsoft in 1991 and officially declared legacy in 2008.
....
VB will not run on operating systems other than Windows and on machines with non-Intel compatible processors.

Yep, the history of success

HAHHAHAHAHH?????There are hundreds of smilies in there.

@volcano63: your link is about VB.net, not classical VB, and while Python is still higher in the list VB.net is a more respectable 8 and not legacy. It also seems that mono can be used for non-Windows environments.

I'd still recommend no one bother with VB.net, and the only software I use that was written with mono is terrible, but I don't want to see a competing language misrepresented in such a way that someone might learn the truth and trust Python less.

Your righteous anger is misplaced - you should direct it towards TechWorm

[micseydel]

Perhaps I didn't articulate myself properly - the link you posted references both VB and VB.net. You cited the VB ranking, in spite of this thread being about VB.net. I am not and was not angry, your claim was simply a straw-man.
