Retiring Mort and Replacing him with Ben
Paul Vick discusses whether it’s time to replace Mort or not. Mort is the personification of VB the language, as Elvis is C#’s and Einstein’s C++. Mort has a bit of a bad rep, so Vick suggests he should be replaced with Ben for the Franklin-guy ie. the president, scientist, multitalent. Anyway during his discussion of Mort, Vick writes:
But to a large slice of the world who have an opinion about Mort, this is who they see. A toothless, unkempt hillbilly who’s best kept up in the mountains of West Virginia and away from all nice and normal folks.
I spend my 9th semester as an exchange student at West Virginia University, so that’s kind of funny to see him described as a WV hillbilly.
