The beauty of a cobol program, designed to replace assembler, all the memory usage statements at the top followed by the procedural code.
PERFORM 4000-Do-Something VARYING fd-counter FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL fd-counter = 10
Don't forget to include your flow chart of the program!
Yeah, I kind of liked working cobol.

Believe it or not... C#
I was a hardcore x86 assembly junky, and C when that wouldn't cut it. I hated everything there was to interpreted languages, loved everything about clean, tight code.
And then C# comes along with its 134MB (at the time) of .NET Framework you have to have installed, it's interpreted bytecode, it's "assemblies" which aren't really DLLs... And, I wanted to hate it.
But I've been using it for a long time now. And... it's really well designed. It's useful. It's scalable.
I'm ashamed to admit that I actually like it.

Not that it was ever income-generating for me, but I liked LISP. You could write some very elegant (although not readable code) in it

Have never heard of this word. However one missing letter had only one logical possibility, which worked.

In the UK there is another vowel in the word.

I've got it in one twice. My starting word was ocean and I changed it to canoe for better letter placement

There is an additional "L" in there...
This isn't Wordle he is referring to

I feel like I've not seen any vb.net roles in some time.. Is it still being built or is it dead?
|
|

[Edit]
Ignore me. I started writing about how MS had recently re-iterated for the Nth time that VB was really, really dead and they were about to not only disable it, but actually remove the runtime. Which you still can reinstall if you really want to.
But that was VBScript. Pardon my confusion.
According to ChatGPT:
Quote: Yes, Visual Basic is still officially supported by Microsoft 1. In fact, Microsoft updated its programming languages strategy in February 2023, confirming that Visual Basic will remain a going concern even though itβs still relegated to second-rate status when compared to C# and F#. The company remains committed to Visual Basic and continues to invest in maintaining C# interop and Visual Studio features for folks that love Visual Basic or want a stable language.
...which to me sounds a lot like they'll make sure you can still build with it, and access everything the common runtime has to offer, but just don't expect Microsoft to port new features beyond that.
To me, "second-rate status" says it all.

Look, every coder I've known who knew one language and refused to ever use another was using vb6 or vb.net. so it costs nothing to keep the lights on but never built any extensions.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, by MS's common definition, something still under support will continue to get security fixes. Something completely out of support won't. So it's not like there is "no cost" in keeping it alive.
But I guess this is a rather unique case; if VB.NET compiles to the same CLR as C#, it's not likely there would be problems that are unique to VB.NET and thus give reason to MS to abandon it...(?)

|
|
|
Yeah it's minimal cost I think
