C# & VB.NET

[Lost User]

Looking at this[^] inaccurate picture, I draw the conclusion that no conclusion can be drawn just yet. MS has done some effort to move people from VB to C# though, so I'm not going to bet against C#. As for J# though, it is deader than a married man's soul.

[Nemanja Trifunovic]

C# is used internally in Microsoft for some money-making projects, and VB.NET isn't. I think that answers your question :)

Hmm, that I did not know!

Well that's good, some one thinks the same as me, The J# job I missed a bullet with that one I couldn't get over the arrogance of the "...well it will be supported longer". :)

Source of that piece information? Or is it mere speculation? :confused:

My guess is C# will be culled first... because thats the one we're using and prefer! :laugh: Lately Microsoft seem to be making a habit of pulling the rug from under us :mad: - so it really wouldn't surprise me.

I worked at Microsoft from 2008 to 2012 and have never seen anybody using VB.NET. C# was used quite a lot: for internal projects and even some software sold to customers (SharePoint, etc).

IIRC seeing official posts on msdn blogs listing at least major product that MS was selling written using each of the major .net languages (C#, VB.net, C++.net) as part of official dogfooding. I can't say I'm surprised that aside from the token VB.net project they've avoided it like the plague. :rolleyes:

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

I think you are wrong there, as their can be only one! oooh, I made Movie quote see who spots it first.:~

I think the opposite, pls check this[^]

[PIEBALDconsult]

Other than C# being replaced by something even better but still with C in its name I don't think C# is going away. Whatever follows VB.net will still be called VB-something.

[Nicholas Marty]

Sounds like C#++ is coming up ;P

[glennPattonPub]

Braveheart will do I was thinking Matrix though...

[glennPattonPub]

Please no!, X|

Actually, no one in the World uses VB, consciously. :rolleyes:

I can't believe that there has not been a sharp rise in JavaScript over the last year.
