I mean, you could also use C++/CLR. Please don't. Because at some point people like me have to maintain it and they will hate every minute of that experience.
I don't know if people laugh it off because of the 8bit Basics, I think it's more because of VB6. And AFAIR VB.net was made to make it easier for VB6-developers to switch to .net. The real programming language for .net was supposed to be C# and I guess some people at Microsoft also like F#.
But Java is not a bad language per se; I actually enjoyed programming in Java more than C#. Java is hated because of its Enterprise-stuff. C# has managed to get a foot-hold in game development and is therefore cooler than Enterprisey-Java.
I don't see how that is a UNO reverse card :)
Thanks for the heads-up. 😀 It's not that I consider VB.NET to be my favorite language. I just wanted to say that I don't feel alright with all the "hate" that I've seen in the past when it comes to programming languages. I often see people ask what their first programming language should be and the "gatekeeping" answers are really annoying. Maybe gatekeeping isn't even the right word...
