    Are future versions of asp.net now only in C#?

    I was told that the future versions of asp.net will only support C#,
    and not Visual Basic. Is this true?
    Thanks,
    Marvin

      I have heard nothing of the sort. If you have a cite, post it. If it is from
      someone on the ASP.NET team, it would be worth being concerned about.
      Otherwise, it is probably just someone blowing smoke.

      Consdering web work is a prime use of Visual Studio and VB is still a
      popular language, it would be a stupid move IMO. Of course, I have not seen
      the latest stats, so maybe there is evidence more than 90% of the people are
      using C# in web work. I doubt it, but I would not fret until the stats
      warrant fretting. While Microsoft may make some mistakes, they generally
      will not shoot themselves in the foot to the extent people have told you.

          no. In fact future versions of .net should better support more dynamic
          languages like python & ruby (isome of the newer features will only be useful
          in these languages).

              Some of us could only wish (contentiously) but quite frankly those who stuck
              to VB rather than adapt and move forward would cry and stomp their feet on
              the floor as they have a history of doing. Actually, you should be more
              concerned about two new languages under development, F# and D.

              VB.NET was and remains developed using C# but apparently even C# was not
              designed to support high performance computing supporting multi-core
              parallel processing platforms that are now emerging. Hence new languages
              such as F# and D.

              So we are all in for new challenges which demand change but the VB
              developers? They simply do not want mommy to take the bib off so it will be
              very interesting to see how the future plays out with the real demands
              programming languages are now being compelled to cope with.
