R.I.P Visual Basic

Are Visual Basic days numbered?

Over last few weeks I have been hearing that Microsoft is going to stop supporting Visual Basic at some point in future. C# is the language of future. Here, according to some, are few evidences of it.

1. There are new versions of C# but no major development in VB.net
2. Microsoft uses C# for example in most of the articles/journals.

Do a quick search on "VB.Net a dead language" and you will find some interesting article.

I would like to hear your views on this. Personally I think C# is a much better language than VB.Net even though most of my experience has been in VB. The syntax of C# is much more clear and easy to understand. I must say I am converted and given a choice I will prefer coding in C#.

Guess what. It is an insurance to make sure your script works fine when all other scripts are merged together;  The leading ; in front of immediately-invoked function expressions (iffe) is there to prevent errors when appending the file during concatenation to a file containing an expression not properly terminated with a ;. So there you go. Now you know what that little semicolon is doing there in your code.
