Kind of amazing, really. Whatever works! Sounds like you've been rustling bytes for quite some time.

For example macros in C/C++. You can find examples, even apparently people that claimed it was a good idea, that did things like define 'BEGIN'/'END' as '{'/'}' so that it looked like a different language.

Having properties doesn't mean anything. Other languages have properties. Doesn't mean they're the basis for some other language
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Unfortunately, people assume that just because something is printed it's truth. I don't think the book author was properly informed or else we're just not hearing the whole story from the book. C# has more Java roots than VB roots.

I don't think the book author is properly informed. Just because its printed material doesn't make it accurate.
C# has a lot of Java roots.[^]

C# is a dialect for the VB7 runtime, known as .NET.
It's basicly just basic with some updated syntax, a new name and some marketing.

Sorry, I can't find anything to support this statement. Care to share a link or two. Thanks.

No, I don't care
There was this quote saying "we needed another curly braces language" at the introduction of C#, which coincided with the release of the renamed VB7. VB6 already introduced compiling to P-code, a runtime/framework that needed be installed.
Also take into account that C# code can be automatically translated (search & replace-kind of simple) to VB. C# is nothing more than a cleaned up VB6.

Well - maybe because: what was Java modeled after ?

Well, Java was based off C++ so there's that too.

Agreed. I heard through the grapevine that MS even hired some top Java guys to help design C#. Never heard of the VB thing. Methinks its the author's wishful thinking.

C# is Java with all the stupid sucked out.
|
|
|
|

C# is closer to C++ and Delphi (Turbo Pascal). C# and Delphi has the same father.

Who cares as long as they don't model anything after time honored VB practices.
Variants, anybody?
|
|
|
|

Care for a slice of nested GOTO statements?

Global variables! Shirley you like global variables!

How could they possibly have omitted On Error Resume Next from the C# spec?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Arrays start at 1 - just like when counting your fingers.
C# (C, C++...) messed up, who counts anything from zero? It's unnatural, zero simply does not exist.
Sin tack
the any key okay

Arrays in BASIC have always begun at zero... Though not many practitioners are smart enough to realize it.

Quote: zero simply does not exist. I have nothing to say to that!
...or in C#...
I have null to say to that!

Zero is a number and makes perfect sense to use it as an index in a collection/array.
