I'm not going to respond to the whole post, too tired for that. Most of it is just repeating what you said earlier, seemingly even without looking what I said.

That's not what you said. Re-read your own post, or get a refresher coursein the english language.

It's because VB programmers respect C++, yes, UNLIKE C++ programmers respecting VB

Oh come on, with all the scriptkiddies (which you yourself acknowledged to exist), there's bound to be loads of em that would like to call C++ crap and such. The main reason people don't mess with C++ is because they know that their OS and their most used applications are very likely to be written in C++.

(and that is what I mean with people like you are "pinned" to C++ or the likes. They don't respect it based upon wrong stuff and their OWN personal likings as they think C++ is holy and uberleet and the rest is minor (simply because it is a different syntax or because they actually do not know it as good as they know c++). In fact, this is just the same as someone not respecting another culture because he/she thinks its "minor"...

Yeah, who would think there's a difference between High-Level programming languages and Low-Level programming languages anyway?
Yeah, sure just the syntax, ofcourse.... dream on...
I mostly respect what you say, but saying that the only difference between VB and C++ is the syntax is plain bullshit.

They might indeed just be pieces of memory, as with any program, yet they're not pointers. Each and every variable in VB is a VARIANT type. No more, no less.

erm, that's absolutely not true.

---

In WScript (which is VBScript and JScript together), everything is the VARIANT type... honestly

---

obviously I'm talking about VB...

---

Internally the VB Virtual Machine just uses VARIANTs and BSTRs, nothing more nothing less.

And why would you say an argument like "vbscript doesn't even know true types, except variants" when this is just the same in jscript??? In other words, don't try to talk you out of this You even stated "VB" yourself, not "vbscript".

---

I didn't say VBScript doesn't know true types, because apparently it does. I said that internally VBScript uses the VARIANT data-type, and as such it does *not* deal with pointers.


Anyway, I'm sick and tired of this discussion. You can just keep believing you're right and you can keep repeating the same bullshit over and over again, I'm just no longer going to bother replying to it again.
