objective data types.

[DevTeam]

We (VB developers) don't have the abstracted data types of C++, they will be
great, look at this:

(suposed code);

Public Sub MyString(A As String, B As String)

' get the lenght of the string
A.Lenght

' the string pointer
A.Ptr

' insert at position with something.
A.Insert (Position:=3, WithString:=B)

' replace characters
A.Replace("%s", With:=B)

End Sub

and so on, and other functions for the other data types...

Just my 2 cents.

Hmmm... nope, that wouldn't be good. Imagine the overhead. Why not:

Dim iNew As Integer

Set iNew = New Integer

But then you'd get into the whole memory allocation thing, which is not
pretty. Nah, let them stay the way they are.

Since they're putting type safety into the language, might that not open the
opportunity to do this both ways?
