.net is strange, the promise of language agnosticism and the emphasis for C# seems odd. Strangely the VB is declining in favorer of C#.
for some reson I still miss the Delphi syntax, I was never much of C/C++/Java type fan but it was for the creator of Delphi that I moved to C#. As much as I think I am doing ok with C#, I think I'd be doing better .net with a pascal based syntax. Who knows maybe Anders Hejlsberg would do a Delphi.net were it would be coevolving with C# and VB , rather than being one step behind. Word of warning, The Data/Object Model of (classic) Delphi was far easier to learn and use than the .net one.
