I am trying to decide which language to commit to for a large scale project.
I am looking for the input of people who have gone through this process
before.
I am currently leaning towards C# solely because I envision VB.NET slowing
down exponentially as projects are added with the constant background
compilation.
Can you turn this background compilation off in VB.NET?
Is C# totally without background compilation?
Any other considerations?
Thank you.

Hi Da One,
There has been big discussions the last week about what is better, in both
newsgroups.
Please check that first, if you have than still questions, ask than again.
There is no answer what is better, it are twins, one is a girl and one a
boy.

Yes, and I was able to find quite a bit of info, but nothing concrete on
large scale projects and choosing a language for efficiency on large scale
projects. I found quite of bit of information, but nothing that has helped
me make such a drastic decision (once it is made, I will have to stick to
it) - which is why I thought a new post was warranted based on choosing a
language for large scale projects, not personal preferences or minor things
that one language does that the other doesn't, etc.

If that had been, than you can be sure that it had been in those threads.
The only decission that I can add for you is to think on which knowlegde of
the languages is the best available in your area. If you by instance have
only to choise from 3 whatever developers who know the language, you take a
big risc.

Da~One,
Da! this is an easy one. ;-)
Which language are you more efficient at writing in?
If you are twice as fast at VB.NET then you are at C# use VB.NET. If you are
twice at C# then use VB.NET. I have a couple of fair size projects in
VB.NET, I really don't notice the background building in VS.NET 2.003 (maybe
I'm just use to it). I did however notice it in VS.NET 2002.
However!! I would not use background compilation as a criteria. I would use
the language that was best "suited" to the task. This means if I needed both
some VB.NET & some C#, then I would use both. If I needed a little Managed
C++, then I would throw that in. Of course you also should consider is this
a one man development project or a team development? Who is going to
maintain it when you are done?
IMHO Mostly the choice should be what language you & your team are
comfortable with!
Of course either language (VS.NET really) benefits from higher end
processors & of course lots of ram!
Hope this helps

Don't think this is a problem. I finished a project that had twelve
assemblies and hundreds of thousands of lines of codes (closer to the
million mark) in VB. At one point during the final debugging stages, I had
all the projects for the twelve assemblies open in the same solution running
in debug mode. Ran fine (just make sure have enough memory! VS can hog up
lots of memory on large projects - in either language. :-)
Can you turn this background compilation off in VB.NET?
No such thing. All .NET code is JIT compiled (just-in-time), so all .NET
code (C# or VB) is in a way "background complied". However, what I THINK you
mean is background syntax checking. And no, I don't think you can.
Is C# totally without background compilation?
C# does most of its syntax checking during compile.
Any other considerations?
In a way, you'll have to experiment. I find that sometimes it's faster
coding in general in VB because I can catch things early with the background
syntax check. In C#, it's easy to make a mistake, and then have the mistake
propogate all over before you finally compile, then you have to go back and
fix a bunch of stuff. I also find VB intellisense to be friendlier and more
responsive, which honestly lets me code faster in VB than C#. However, I'm
very comfortable in both languages. All in all, I think you have much bigger
things to be concerned with when choosing a language for a particular
project than what you expressed here.

I have trouble seeing any programming language as a girl, even Ada. So I'd
say they're fraternal twin boys.

I think the point you want to make is that Python needs vastly less
lines of code as a similar application written in C++. I think Python
might on average be 50-60% of comparable C++ code, but not the 1-2% you
seem to want to claim. LOC is a somewhat arbitrairy measurement, but it
gives an idea of what I'm talking about.
Your single example compares a simple use in Python with a much more

Hi
I need to read in a large set of text files (9GB+ each) into a database
table based on fixed width lengths.
There are several ways to complete this, but I am wondering if anyone has
insight into the FASTEST way to read in the data and chop it up ahead of
posting it into the DB.
So far, things work, but they are far slower than expected.

So I've got a C compiler handy, and I've downloaded the book by

One bad thing tho is it doesn't have solutions printed at the back, so
what I'd like is to have a solutions manual to look at, instead of
spending a lot of time thinking about each of the examples.
