Comment Re:Been using BASIC my whole life (Score 1) 76

But when we start getting into language wars, it's exactly like people bickering over whether German or French is "better". It's a nonsense

Exactly, because German isn't a real language, it's fake!

(As a non native speaker sharing my home with three native speakers, I can only say, this is my story and I'm sticking with it...)

Oh you poor tortured soul! I spent many years in VB (from VB3 to VB6) and then progressed to VB.net. But after shifting to C# 20 years ago, I wouldn't want to go back. BASIC has a soft spot in my heart as that's where I got started (PET/V20/C64 BASIC) but I hope I never have to code in it again.
