"kiddy languages"? What should a "real language" contain?

Do you mean languages which are interpreted? *shrug*

I wouldn't program anything in all those languages.
Makes the code messy and spread out. Screw that.

Anyways, welcome.

[Mangix]

a language that can let you do anything that you want to. for example you can make an OS in C++ while you cant in VB and other languages

As long as you keep him off my back, he's all yours.

You're "learning" C++ because you can write operating systems with it? I prefer languages that are more restrictive, which forces you to think in ways you don't usually think - VB6 is teh aw-sum in that respect.

Mangix, quit agreeing with me.

Make operating systems in C++? Not withought doing some stuff with constructors in the initiation.
Not very practical unless you are very good at OOP

You seem to be missing crucial points. VB is a high level language made to SIMPLIFY programming, unless you want full control of a program (allocating your own memory, spawning your own threads, etc) it's perfectly fine to use something like VB for Rapid Application Development. Let's see, that's what it was made for.

It surely doesn't make it a "kiddy" language since it must be pretty damn powerful if it's  widely used amongst people. It must be pretty powerful if it automaticly handles all of the things you would usually do yourself in a lower level language.

Each language is better or worse in different areas, VB and other highlevel languages have a different goal than low level languages.

Hell, by your logic I should see you program nothing but assembler since you seemed so hell bent on having a language which can do everything.
