[Gambas-user] Gambas 2 - digg and slashdot

[Fabien Bodard]

The more bad thing we have do, is to comparate Gambas to vb :( 

Gambas is really not vb ... the only common thing is that gambas is a Basic 
with visual editor... that's all.

And nerds hate vb... generally... and they don't really know why but they hate 
vb and the only way for them to do something is C/java and sometime Py... for 
the web php/java/ ...  the arrival of a new language like Gambas is a symbol 
of child toys... nothing really professionnal... but...
As far as i know vb and access (vba) are used in professionnal apps since many 
thime ( often more tan 10 years)... 
And if a tool like WinDev (who is a multilanguage ide and a basic language), 
is a toy, i say i really prefer to play with that... why ?... becaus it's 
simple, complete, not too many things to learn, really, really easy to 
debug... I can do what i want without be a wishmaster... 

And i can grow in the linux world with a language i know since i've 12....

This is my thinks...
