Is it possible to have a future without a .NET-style takeover?

Why start with a lobotomy and then later on try to reverse it's effects? :)
To be fair, VB has a lot worse name than it deserves credit for - you can do decent stuff with it (it's just that 99% of the stuff you see produced with VB is crap, probably because it's so easy to start with that a monkey with no training can - and will - hack out horrors in it). But it's syntax is horrible, and it's really not that much harder to start with a proper language.

And bear in mind that C# is the flagship .NET language, built from scratch to leverage the Framework while incorporating the best features of C++ and Java.

Christ they've damn near got me talked into using C# at this point...
