My life fucking sucks

Why did I become a programmer?

Your programming job probably affords you some therapy; go get it, you may get some orientation.

in Visual Basic, the decision to include in the syntax and semantics the ability to assign numbers directly to strings and vice versa was a result of the designers' desire to attract a broad base of developers who would probably not understand the notions of strongly typed variables. Once the syntax permitted it, such assignment became widespread, reinforcing the designers' original premise. Once this cycle of self-reinforcement begins, the cultural habits quickly become entrenched and widespread, and are extremely resistant to change. Minds tend to gravitate to like minds. User groups tend to attract homogenous followings. Visual Basic instructors tend to propagate what their instructors taught them.

Here goes the question: why strings are mutable?

I agree that you can accomplish the same when you target .Net with C# and VB.NET, but C# is special, it has the C syntax which is unbeatable and powerful.

I'm proud to code in a C style language.

My background is finance and art. Programming became a true passion when I understood how functional it was and creative you could truly be. Having an engineer father, I was drawn to "logical" things for creative outlets. I also programmed in basic as a kid.

Very good article!... I agree, PHP may have its downfalls, but all can be resolved with good coding practices, and future releases.  -- Thomas Borzecki, professional Jew
