In the professional world, what happens is that someone, who generally is less experienced than the rest of the team, shows up mixes Visual Basic into a world of C#. It turns into a smell that something isn't right here; because usually the Visual Basic parts are loaded with novice mistakes; because the rest of the team didn't review the code closely enough while it was being written. The problem isn't the language; the problem is how a team integrates newcomers and mentors them.
