  1. several languages that are still in use have eager evaluation.

  2. I'm a dumb programmer. The more I need to keep implicit behaviour in mind, the higher the probability I'm writing bugs. Short circuit evaluation is an optimization technique IMO and shouldn't be relied upon for control flow.

  3. The aggressive tone you're using is completely unnecessary and immature, so I'll refrain from responding any further. Have a nice day.

You're the one who started this by criticizing my knowledge and my coding practices, in response to me sharing one very specific example of why I believe VB is a bad language

I held off because I thought you must've misread it and we'd laugh and maybe talk about language design... But no, you confirmed you just came at me with a bad take extremely dismissively

If you want respect, try showing it.
