'foo' is a 'variable' but is used like a 'method'
Over the last several months, because of my current project I have had to program in a bunch of different languages. (The reason for this will become crystal clear early next week). Basically, I have had to code in C#, VB, and IronPython while at the same time I have been trying learning Haskell and occasionally Ruby - and some Javascript just for fun on the weekends. To be brutally honest, this is a major pain.
For example, the difference in the syntax for calling indexers between VB and C#
Dim foo As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)
Console.WriteLine(foo[0])]
Will not compile with the error - "Error 18 Identifier expected."
If I use the VB syntax in C#, I get my new favorite error: 'foo' is a 'variable' but is used like a 'method'
Particular annoying is the differences in For Each between C#, VB, and Python - each which has a slightly different syntax. For some reason this has been tripping me up a lot during live demos.
Interestingly, the whole curly brace versus END statements versus tabs (python) deal doesn't bother me at all. Although, this shocked me.
