Alvin,I have to confirm Bob. Because I am more a C#y than a VBly I would say "null" is always better than "Nothing"
BTW: In contrast to Bob I really hope that all you (maybe especially Alvin) don't sound like your avatars! :laugh:
That gives me an idea. Maybe we should suggest to Firefox, or SlyFox, Foxtrott or whatever his name is to ask MS to add the keyword "Dunno" to all of the .NET languages? 😀 Maybe an "ItDepends" would be useful as well 😉

[font="Verdana"]Does anyone remember a language called Algol? I believe that in the original form, it had no concept of "reserved words", so it was perfectly valid to write expressions like:
if if then then else else
Of course, you could really confuse matters with:
if else then if else then
... Or was that PL/1?
Bring back PROLOG, I say!

But do you look like your avatar, Roy?P.S. It's good to see you back online. I can't remember if I said that earlier.
Bob looks like his.

Meh.

I taught myself Algol when the teachers went on strike while I was in high school back in '76. I don't remember it not having the concept of reserved words. I remember you had different routines to print numerics and text. I found it to be an interesting language, and preferred it to Fortran. It also made learning Pascal, Modula-2, and Ada much easier.
I'd love it if someone came out with PROLOG.NET. I had the Borland Turbo Prolog and found it a fun language to play with as well.

If you want a weird programming language, look at Whitespace.
