Raimo	Well, my question is: How close does Visual Basic looks like DM?

Nadrew	It's less like DM than most other languages, actually. Java and Python are probably the closest you'll get to DM without it being DM.

Google is your friend

Source

' Allow easy reference to the System namespace classes.
Imports System

' This module houses the application's entry point.
Public Module modmain
' Main is the application's entry point.
Sub Main()
' Write text to the console.
Console.WriteLine ("Hello World using Visual Basic!")
End Sub
End Module


As you can see it's not very similar.

Danbriggs	It may not be very similar, but you can obviously see how BYOND can help you understand different programming concepts, all of which generally apply to C++. You have the fact that you can't use a variable until you reference it as just a really simple example. It's a good way to get an easy start onto the programming scene, which is why I love it. The learning curve on DM is amazingly steep.

Emasym	Visual Basic isn't exactly object oriented. Go with Java/C#/Python if you want it to resemble DM in some way.
