Computer languages from A-Z: Vala & Visual Basic

As we approach the tail end of the alphabet we notice that the number of languages which are available specifically for PCLinuxOS are rapidly decreasing, or even reaching the vanishing point. For that reason, this article will present two languages. One is a new language which is designed to only function on the Gnome desktop of Linux. The other is the language which made creating GUI applications in Windows an easy task: the venerable language Visual Basic. The version of this language selected has the redeeming feature of being available at no cost.
