As someone who started programming in VB.NET, this is so true.
It was a great language for beginners that also had enough oomph to build commercial applications, everyone who I spoke to who actually used it loved it.
Why a 1 trillion dollar company like microsoft can't hire 5 dedicated devs is beyond me.
- aliswe 7y agoThat goes back to if the decision to assign them is strategic, or not. If they wish to deprecate the language, it will not be done. Also one could argue that that small code change which took 5 minutes could have cost the company hundreds of hours supporting their clients if something happened. So that would make that very small change a very big change, not based on effort but on impact.
