Do it in VB, get used to stulid customer demands.
Do it well in VB and he'll see that you know what you're doing.

If you can do it well in anotger language, vb should be easypeasy. After you prove you can do it better than him, show how otger languages achieve the same but better.

Work with what you got, its good practice.
Good luck, stay stocked on coffee and aspirin.

@OttkO ive heard that tgeres hardcoded checks against that, ive never looked it up though

SSD is really a great upgrade, but with 4gb of ram you might be on the low end.
I'd look on my ram usage, and if its often close to the limit it might be better to do the ram.

If that isn't a problem, an SSD would give you a nice performance boost.l while the ram might not be noticeble.

Manic-depressive coder? :D

@CristCD i think that can br a very valid point, but when starting out things like interpreter and easy to read code can be fantastic when youre starting out.

Libraries can be easy to understand just by reading its code, and unless youre doing some heavy 3d i think the performance isnt much of a problem.

Wanna do a website? Check out Flask.
Wanna do a discord bot? Check out discord.py.

Im such a fan of python because i want a working result fast, that makes it very fun.

I think Python can be a good choice. It promotes good coding style and it has a mentality of "code is written once but read many times".

I cant comment on the maturity of it as someone mentioned, but i have yet to find a drawback. There's tons of libraries and I think it complements c# pretty well, bit i havent had to do that yet.

I think EVE (space mmo) is, or at least was, built with a version of Python. Rendering/graphics is done with a low level language (c# i think?) but game logic in Python.

@clovisIrex if you use Discord, theres good libraries for python/javascript and surely more. I've only used python (discord.py) pretty easy to do things with audio aswell.

@OrestH i think the flask documentation makes structuring more difficult than it needs to be.
I tend to do one file for models, one for views, one for configuration, and probably a few more than i can remember. By using modules it can be pretty clean.

But i can see that theres several situations where django is nicer, so im not trying to argue. (Built in functions compared to flask where many things are extra modules forexample)

If the argument is "complicated" thats pretty silly, but i think flask can be a bit faster and less things to debug. Definitely wanna hear peoples opinion/experience about this!

@nbamaral thanks! I'll give it a try when I'm out. A part of the challenge is that theres around 250 servers to monitor, and we need the data in realtime.
I think I figured out, but had a breakdown before i could properly test it. My doctor might be the first to know :v
