    Visual Basic.NET is a great programming language, so powerful as C#, but more fun and readable to program with it. So finally after so many years VB.NET has surpassed C# in TIOBE Index (July 2018) See Picture Here (July 2018) www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

    Nurse! Quick! Here we have another one that believes his own propaganda!

    I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

          > ...An alternative viewpoint: 14 most popular programming languages according to Stack Overflow... Stack Overflow can not measure the popularity of a language, but the difficulty of programmers to use it, the more questions, the more problematic is that language. Tiobe Index is more trustful.

            Hmmm there are some strange entries in the top 20, including VB, presumably the version that has been dead for over a decade.

              VB and VB.Net are different languages. The old VB is at the top 20 because it is still largely used around the world, it is far from being "dead". VB.Net at the other hand is a very powerful and advanced language, very similar to C#. Do more research before saying things you don't know.

                For dead read unsupported which equates to dead! My development path was from Superbase to Access to VB4 to VB6 and then to VB.net and then to c# so I know precisely what I am talking about. And there are still some strange entries ia rather minor player to be up there.n the top 20. Delphi, which I also dabbled in, seems a little strange, and Mathlab, a programming language. And they split PL/SQL and SQL (presumably TSQL) seems an odd segregation. Still statistics and all that!

                                          Visual Basic.NET is a great programming language, so powerful as C#, but more fun and readable to program with it. So finally after so many years VB.NET has surpassed C# in TIOBE Index (July 2018) See Picture Here (July 2018) www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

                                          C# is a cleaned up version of VB. "Fun" you say. I say there's a lot of hobbyists. Aaaw, the fun of cleaning up after them - so much, I regularly refuse to :thumbsup:
