Programming Language

I have heard many times:"The guy wrote the virus on VB" and "C++ has more freedom, but it has more difficult code". Well i agree with these, but how can it be true, C++ has more freedom, but hackers wrote virus on VB most.

Since when do hackers code virii in VB? Even if they need to code something malicious to be put on the target system, the code must be portable, which means that the code can be transferred from one language to another for more OS support & less incident dependant.
And as many mainframes run a *nix system, how are they supposed to run VB code easily on those servers...
Also coding a virus and hacking are way too different things.

Turing is a language, had to learn the "stupid" thing in Highschool, a few years back. (It was already extinct when I learnt it!) It's a DOS based language with absolutely no GUI!

to politroyx:
just imagine: try to write a prog for linux -> you can't write this in vb...
but if you want to write a programm for win why not use vb
as you see it depends on which system you would like to work...

and now to everyone else: vb is not a bad language. ok sonetimes its not the best possibility but if it is it's simple and it works... . befor anybody tries to say something ageinst vb just try it yourself...

I had to learn QBASIC in HS, I know it is old... I took it this year infact, and now they let me into C++... To bad I already learned it (both of them), so I'm just having fun in class (online education).

I think C++ is the most useful. I only write console programs, nothing invisible, so I don't think that is a good thing if I wanted to be malevolent... I just write encryption programs, so that teachers don't really see too much of what I'm doing regarding the files they see on the disk..., I might have my own DOS look-alike one of these days...

ASM is good I think, but I've had no experience with it yet. C++ and ASM are a good combination though, because you can use ASM code directly in you C++ program... You just have to becareful with what you do, or else you will end up restarting quite a few times... (from what I've heard)

If you want to have a useful take-most-anywhere program, I use JavaScript. I use lots of these programs to help in coding complex and redundant C++ programs. It is really useful, because I like to cut-paste in the browser window, and I can update text fields, and in effect variables, and quickly get a new result... I'm also good at HTML, so I can have a nice, useful layout for helping me with coding...

Just my opinions...
