I'll try to offer a reply that adresses your question rather than discuss VB. Mostly because I have never had the displeasure of coding in VB.

Perhaps we could say that life is not like perl because the details of our lives are not controlled by a Saint like Larry Wall. Whatever you believe in, it is hard to deny that life is surprising, variable, unpredictible,... chaotic... In part because a great deal of a lives is determined by conflicting entities beyond our control (parents, government, bosses) who don't always see the big picture (or at least don't see it from our - the end user/developer's - point of view).

So life resembles VB because it is born of the same chaos that committees are full of.

But we still get to make choices independent of the committee. Sometimes we get to bring perl-like order into our surroundings. I wish we got to do more of that. Keep your courage up. Sometimes the chaos drags you to better places.

Joe.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
