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.

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

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.

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.

Imbeach Push!
