#24 Switch to VB.NET

[Patrick Bielen]

Hi Guys,

I want to join the project, but VB is out-dated for me,
so i was wondering when the project-members will
switch to VB.NET ?

And the fact that Visual Studio is expensive is not a
good argument to take, cause there is also
SharpDevelop which is completely free.

At least i really like the visual basic scripting support :-)

Happy Coding !

Yeah, VB 6.0 is old, but it's significantly faster. It's probably
against the EULA for me to say anything about this, but
VB.NET programs run at about 33% of the speed which VB6
programs do, with speed optimizations set to the maximum on
both. I don't think it would be wise to switch to VB.NET
because of speed issues, as NodeIRC is in need of more
speed, not less.
