New programming language announced by Google.

Hi,

I may consider using it, but I'm still using VB6 right now (Well learning)

Hoping to learn a little faster!

Cheers!

Hey Damien,

I would suggest you make the switch to at least VB.NET. In about a year, Microsoft will stop continuing support to VB6, hence making the language officially "dead" in the programming world. Things like placing VB6 in a CV would be pointless as it won't be operable anymore. VB.NET is much more technical and can do things which VB6 can't. Hope you choose the right path.

I'm sure I will, I have considered C++, what do you think?

Cheers!

I would recommend learning C++ over Visual Basic simply because it seems to be the preferred language for a lot of professions. It's also seems to have a bigger community supporting it.

Though VB is a lot easier to learn.

If you are considering in industry level, then go for C++ or Java. Mastering C++ may get you a job at Google.

Maybe perhaps you should criticize Microsoft for C# then...

Nah, because C# is just another, well I guess you can think of it as another version of C++, some differences and is used to code games for like the 360 and stuff. The two major languages learned throughout a CS (Computer Science) major's career is Java and C++, then we (since I am a CS major) have some time to spend learning areas of other languages.

Though, Java and C++ are the two most used languages today, with Java being EASIER then C++, so I would suggest you go learn Java before touching C++.
