Past sunday , i had a lightbulb moment and decided to rewrite Cassini to VB
as i did a lot with cassini in the past ( and i really like the idea and
concept of the thingy ) but could never find a working version in VB , some
people said it should be easy to port but i never actually saw a port to VB
Well i set down and after 2 hours of coding there it was , a VB cassini
server, the code that took the most time was that where a anonymous lambda
was used
to be exact in server.cs after i finally understood what it did ( took me
for sure 5 minutes ) i splitted the whole thingy up in three methods .
after reviewing my VB source against the C# original source it was clear to
me that the VB non Lambda was 100% understandable with a quick view
while the Lamda had the only advantage that it could all be written in one
method but it wasn`t so much shorter and second hard to understand .
What exactly is my point , well i wonder what the exact benefit is of
anonymous lambda expressions becides the fact that it seems to be a buzz
thingy and used by C# coders to try to send us in the woods with shame that
VB lacks this feature at the moment , it looks to me that they only make
things more difficult that are so easy to solve with common code ( once you
understand them ) .
for those of you interested in a VB version of Cassini FW 3.5
