- If you're choosing between these two in isolation, then you
- need to decide what sort of apps you want when you're
- finished. VB makes it easy to build a fully functional
- application, but the app is slower and it is difficult to
- reuse code. C++ makes it harder to build a fully functional
- app, but it is (often) orders of magnitude faster and you can
- reuse code more easily.

- Also, since Java is a simplified form of C++, C++ would be
- useful for a transition to or from Java.
