Some things that are bound to piss you off about ASP/VBScript:
- no ternary operator
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fair enough.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- uses () for arrays and functions (something(4)... is it an array,
is it a function, is it a sub... I dunno)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are well established standards for naming in the VB world.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- hopelessly typeless (why declare a variable if you can't declare
a type?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What's the point of declaring types in a scripted, intepreted environment?
Your compiler isn't going to pick up your errors? All you have is run-time
debugging.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
just a few things that bug me :P

Well, this is why Microsoft released ASP.Net more than 2 years ago...
I don't understand why anyone would start a new project now utilising
Classic ASP
