My build environment starts as a C++ app that presents a UI for changing version/build numbers. That app in turn starts a VBScript that runs the build process. The script does part of its work in script and part in batch files (the batch files do a couple of SourceSafe operations; 'nuff said). The script also re-invokes the original C++ app with a command line parameter to do some post-build cleanup that was just ridiculously slow in script.

I use VB scripts to deploy .NET web applications, it is easy and flexible. But you have to learn it first. It is also dangerous, dum people should not try it .

I think there is a need for a "Yes, I used VB before, but I know C/C++, so don't call me stupid" club.

...and I think there is a need for a club called "Yes, I use VB and love it! And don't care, if you call me stupid!!!"

They can join any "There's a dark spot in my past" club.

Back in the day, I used to use VB 6 to test my COM objects. Building a test harness in VB was so much quicker than writing the code in C++.
Now I'm working with a team who use VB.NET. Whilst I write all my code in C#, I still need to be able to read and write VB code. Even worse, I have to teach the team how to do things like ASP.NET and they want to do it in VB rather than C#.

I do on occasion when I don't have a choice but to use classic VB at work because it's mandated by a higher-up. Of course, I'd prefer going the .NET route for business application development if I actually had the choice.
My own development at home is a totally different story however. It's C/C++ all the way!

Not me. I prefer assembler. That's where the real power is.

I manipulate the 1´s & 0`s using my implanted BlueTooth fart-analsier. Slience is Zero, noise is 1, although I do have problems coding after a chicken vindaloo....

Bah. I program in upper-case and lower-case 0 's.

And what's wrong with knowing and using assembler? Granted, there are not many cases nowdays when someone would write entire application with an assembly language, but for optimizing critical pieces of code, assembly rocks nowdays as it always did.
Not to mention that serious debugging is all but impossible without knowing at least some assembly.
