This was just too good to possibly pass up. I was chatting with Chris Williams over messenger about his new endeavor to learn C#. And this is what he had to say:
VB.NET is the girl you go out with in high school because you know you'll get some, even though you're really interested in the prettier girl (C#), who may or may not give it up.
Then you end up stuck with her...
eventually you start to love her, despite her flaws... but you always wonder what it would have been like...
Quite a way to compare two programming languages. Leave it to us Geeks to compare languages to girls =P.
