+1. VB used right is still a good choice in 2017. Faster, dirtier and simpler than C# when communicating with C++ and DLLs. For native programmers it's still a boon, while using .NET for the front-end hampers quite a lot.
And writing small testers? Piece of cake! A VB 7 would definetely encounter good acceptance, so much that it could even kill .NET in the non portable / non web applications.

My one experience of VB was writing a jet DB client. I had a control in DB code with the same name as a column, and in one record, data of the same name in that column.
It didnt work.
That was scary.
Anyway, Java, isnt it suposed to be a standard?

SQL is also a standard, but most of the code I've seen is not portable without adjustment. Especially if it comes from SQL Server.

Nor with any BASIC at all.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

C# is low level enough for all the hand-rolled stuff you could want[1]. It's the CLR that does everything for you, not C#. The syntactic sugar like async/await and other bloody marvelous stuff can all be done the long way, either with the Task Parallel Library, or just plain threads, if you like large bowls of spaghetti lubricated with toffee.

I don't think that it's gin that is hand-rolled.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
