Microsoft Compilers written in VB !

Monday, May 28, 2007

Yes, it is true - you can read about it straight from the source here. The upcoming Javascript compiler for Silverlight as well as the compiler VBx (VB 10) are both being written in VB.NET ! I am happy to (finally) have some really good examples to counter "Obviously Microsoft doesn't take VB seriously, since everything from Microsoft is written in C#"

Good Times ...

Feww. And all this time I thought I was going to have to drop all my VB.NET knowledge and spend all my time learning C# instead. I feel better now.

Yes, you'll always have people who insist on towing their car with a bicycle.
