“Unfortunately, one can’t make a living nowadays insisting on using the programming language one knows best, especially when you can’t attract recruiters when you put them in your resume.”
Who cares? I’m not trying to be sarcastic. I’m 72 and retired years ago!
I ‘play’ with ‘VBS’ only for internal stuff. ;-)
I started in ‘BASIC’ then moved to ‘Fortran’ then ‘COBOL’ then ‘C++’ then ‘HTML’ then ‘VBS’. In other words, I have been around the block more than once. ;-)
My first production application was in Basic on a TRS-80. My boss trusted me enough to buy the machine on the QT and let me give it a try. It was a big hit and he started to send reports from it into headquarters, and eventually the IT department got pissed off that "outsiders" were doing IT stuff outside their control. So they transferred me into IT downtown and I had to rewrite the application on the mainframe for use by all the remote office locations to use.
So much for my degree in French Literature.... stayed in IT for the rest of my career, and loved every minute of it.
‘VBS’.
