When I was a fresh graduate, I swore I was never going to program in VB.
Now I've grown very used to the VB.NET syntax, and when I go back to other languages, I hate two things:
- case sensitivity and
- the semicolon (;)
I can live with curly braces ({}) :) though having each line be its own statement is very convenient.
There are several things to dislike about the VB.NET syntax (Dim being the most egregious), but I think many languages could adopt some of its benefits.
Groovy in particular did away with the semicolon, and I'm glad :)
