Oh yeah, and VB isn't exactly the most elegant language ever. It's kind o=
f
weird sometimes - there's some types that are passed by value, then
classes are passed by reference, for example. Collections, I believe
(they're the closest you get to sequences) only accept certain types of
data etc. And VB, last time I checked, has bad "object-orientation" - you
can define classes in VB 4, but there's no inheritence etc... so classes
can become ugly pretty quickly too. C can be way more elegant than VB. I
have yet to find a language that's perfectly elegant... I think the
closest I've ever found is Python, which is an excellent language for som=
e
things... but AFAIK it doesn't come near Euphoria's speed.
