Everyone knows VB programmers can't read! Laugh | :laugh:

No, it should have been there - but you can vote for it under "~~other~~ None of the above" I guess.

If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Sorry, that is a logical fallacy, similar to saying "That dog is black, therefore all dogs are black". A single instance does not prove a conclusion. Poke tongue | ;-P

It says why:
"These are the top 10 from last September. How do you fit the norm?"

Cheers!

... and I'd be willing to bet the next poll will say "these were the top 10 in January".

Unless of course the list is going to get shorter each time. "These were the top 5 in January"

I'm not a VB developer, but for sure VB should be in this poll. There are too many people doing VB/VB.NET development, not to include it.

Where's PHP?

Where's my no. 1 programming language, Visual Basic? Sigh | :sigh:

Yeah, I said VB, b*****s! Haters gonna hate!

I'll settle with my no. 2 then... C#.

It's an OO world.

public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
    public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
}

Simple choice

- Nothing from Apple. I don't like to walk on a company's leash if I don't even work for them.

- Nothing from Microsoft. They try too hard to be like Apple recently and have changed their minds once too often for my taste. Perhaps I will actually get to use my code more than once when going on without their 'help'.

- No interpreters. I know better ways to waste CPU time.

Nope. Never drank it. The smell already makes me sick.

They don't sell them here.

Any other stereotypes we could try?

Long greasy hair? Negative.
Heavy metal shirts? Ok, I still have some.
Programming in the middle of the night? Yes, is there a better time?

Right. I now earn my money with singing on the street. You can't imagine what they pay me to stop, but recently some have tried to make me sign a paper that prevents me from ever coming back.

I like Java. ;)

I'm a .net developer since... ever it appeared.
Recently I've been working on a project that involves WCF and JAVA MVC front-end.
So usually I have SQL Management Studio, Visual Studio and Eclipse open all time and keep switching between them.

For me JAVA is more of the same I had as a .net expert. No news, no "WOW I would like to have this on the .net side..."

I just feel JAVA namespaces a bit messy and the Date handling on JAVA is actually a big mess... apart from that all is good and calm Smile | :)

Colleague of mine who does both .NET and Java tends to use Scala as a "better Java" now. He likes the expressiveness and conciseness. Though, the tooling is not yet on par with that for Java.

For people coming to Java from C# 3 I can see why Scala (in non-functional mode) is more attractive than Java.
