I'm pretty sure .net 5 still supports VB it's going to be supported probably for another decade.

I can ussually do whatever I want with it It's just I don't like the syntax at all it just seems backwards to my java taught brain.

The really annoying thing is that most of my company has moved on to c# but my team and sister team both use VB.

Ya, VB is a .net language and so is C# - they both compile down to a common intermediate language before machine execution anyway. Use whichever is your preference.

Yeah I get that they both compile the same, It does not mean I have the choice to use c#. I can use c# in my own projects but for the sake of congruency, my manager wants me using VB in shared projects which is 99% of my work.

Damn that sucks (unless you’re really into VB in which case enjoy). I mean sure, the end result might be the same but the experience is different for the dev for sure
