I learned VB first, when i was young... Then i took on c++ without knowing how difficult it was. I was ok at it but could never finish everything because it is so hard to do everything. Arrays are near impossible; you have to worry about weather or not to send by pointer or not... so on and so forth. Not to mention trying to bring up the simplest window in c++ takes hours of typing :-D.


After all that i switched to java... WOW what a difference. Java is great and i consider it to be the best language of what i know. The only problem with java is its slow speed and inability to make exe's. If you could get Java as a platform specific language then It would be so much better than it already is... Wich is hard to beat!
