Difference between VB.NET, C#, C++, TorqueScript

[Trinick!]

C# is a modified version of Java, which is a modified version of C++.

What? I think you have no idea what you're talking about. Java has utterly no relation to C++ besides syntaxical similarities.

.NET is (I believe) Libraries of code, used by most programs running any of Microsoft's OS's. It provides common functionality for those applications to run.

Yes, but he asked what VB.NET is, not .NET. VB.NET is a language.

Torquescript is a scripting language, unlike C#, Java, And C++, which are programming langauges.
The differences are subtle, and I need to refresh myself on the specifics. But I dislike torque, if that means anything.

Scripting languages are interpreted languages that are parsed in real time by a program instead of being compiled into a program themself.

The only difference between VB.NET and C# is syntax.

That isn't true whatsoever.

I was under the impression the langauges followed a heigharchy of influence, not direct relationships. I suppose my lack of talent for articulating my thoughts may have caused an uproar in your mind, my appologies.

Fair enough.

EDIT: It seems the programming universe is full of angry beavers wrathfully assaulting each other's langauges with vulgar accusations and rude remarks. The programming world is quite the battlefield ;.=.; Word of advise to all, careful what you read about langauge histories.

I wasn't mad, I was just correcting the parts of your post people could draw misinformation from, lest someone further misinterpret and spread even more misinformation. Sorry if you felt attacked.

I never accused you of being mad, nor did I particularly feel attacked. False information needs to be corrected after-all. My edited comment was how I explained the mis-information. It seems my sources were biased. That's all, no jimmies were rustled. ^.=.^
