Now, I haven't used VB.NET myself, but I understand it's had a pretty
serious overhaul to work on the .net platform, and that it's much more
like a facade over C# than it was before.  Furthermore, I've got a lot
of respect for Eric Meijer, who is a Microsoft researcher with a
background in Haskell programming who has done a lot of work on VB and
its integration with SQL Server.  I can't imagine that it's truly that
bad of a language now, even if it is called Basic.
