And I think that VB-like code already looks very much like pseudo-code.
Possibly, but I have a rare disorder that results in me being unable to read VB code. If I read more than 2 lines of it I get a migraine, start convulsing, and then lose consciousness. I think it's some sort of defense mechanism.
Anyhow the LotusScript situation is even worse - the other supported languages are Java, C and C++.
C rocks, C++ sort of rocks, and Java, well, I don't mind it too much. I hope you enjoyed the preceeding enlightening, objective analysis about those languages and their respective merits.
I'm terribly disappointed in what I'm perceiving to be language bigotry elsewhere in this response tree.
There is plenty to complain about when it comes to programming languages. Some are indeed flat out better than others. Just like any other type of design, language designs can suck. Writing criticisms of these sub-par languages off as "language bigotry" is not very constructive. Flame the hell outta advocates of crappy languages instead. It's much more fun.
The root node really shouldn't have been downvoted.
Don't look at me, I can't vote. Flame the saints instead, they're all in on it together.

Oh I did. So much that I'll ... oh wait. Hmmm. Well whatever I was saying I forgot.

Nah, I'm just reacting to the (as I write this negative nine) node reputation. I'm imagining that the monks who are voting the node down are just going "eww, VB. I'll moderate *that* node down". I don't know that but that's what I'm guessing.

Honestly, I have a feeling that the node was downvoted because the SOPW apparently did not even attempt to find the solution for their problem. They merely served up some existing code in a different language and pretty much demanded (albeit in a polite way) that someone write the code for him/her.
This is usually frowned upon here at the monestary.
