I’m not sure Dijkstras quote had that much of an effect. Visual Basic was one of the most popular languages until Microsoft killed it. Basic evolved to have blocks, scopes, procedures, and functions. Visual Basic is probably closer to Algol or Pascal than to the original GOTO-only BASIC which Dijkstra was complainig about. VB.Net has the same semantics as C# which means it is one of the most powerful languages available. But it is not really a good beginner language anymore. |
