ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Never heard of Visual Basic? Granted that it isn't more than passingly related to the original Basic, it still carries the name.

*shrug* I last programmed some fortran about 2 years ago. It is still in widespread use, mostly in labs I think. There is a GNU fortran compiler.
And as far as that goes, I was doing major Fortran work for many years before you were born, and was publishing magazine articles using it when you were still not potty trained.
The first program I wrote, when I was 11, was in VB. It popped up a window with an image of cheese and exclaimed "Cheese is good." Haven't touched it since then, though. Maybe that's why I haven't taken it too seriously as of late. Hm.
