No one is using VB.NET to build the next Facebook or something. VB.NET is used heavily in the most boring of all domains - business side apps. Like, for example a small invoicing app for a mom and pop store made usually by students or some extra cash or by small scale consulting companies. In India a whole lot of such apps, even for big grocery chains and banks are made in VB.NET. I made many of them when I was an undergraduate for some quick spending money. > I've never seen a single article or mention on Hacker News or any of the other forums I read. You wouldn't. This is not a client side or flashy business where you can claim big innovation or some grand mission like changing the world. No one on a forum has the time to talk about the boring stuff.
