I wonder what the credo is for Javascripters?
If it interprets, ship it?

Just because a language has an implementation that YOU don’t like doesn’t necessarily make it garbage 🤔

Just because it has a feature doesn't mean you have to use it.

Not knowing how to code doesn't make the language garbage it makes the coder garbage.
This is not knowing how to code:
On Error Resume Next
objShell.Run strRunCmd, 1, True
This is how to handle the error properly and reset properly:
On Error Resume Next
objShell.Run strRunCmd, 1, True
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
ErrMsg Err.Number, Err.Description, "Error with objShell.Run [" & strRunCmd & "]", True
End If
On Error GoTo 0

If you don't like it, don't use it. All of you VB haters make me laugh. Calling something that is used by thousands of programmers "Garbage", is just childish. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.

That makes NO sense! Because it has what C# has in this area and it is backward compatible as well, it is garbage?

Seriously you are on this same issue, get over it, most of us here don't give a rats about the index and put very little faith in the veracity of it's results. Why would we, the majority of us use c# and live peaceably with the VB.net community despite the barrage of insult hurled at them from time to time.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I have spent 15 years developing my in-house app in VB. I can code in C but I like the readability of VB.
I compare the VB haters to Harley Davidson riders who look down at my full dress Suzuki.
The bike is no better/worse, but the club mentality makes them feel superior.
I am a proud VB coder!

It is a lie, You're confounding Classic VB (1998, 20 years old language) with VB.NET (an C# equivalent language).

Saying that VB.NET s a C# equivalent is nonsense; they target the same runtime, but so does managed C++. No one in their right mind would compare VB to C++, calling them equivalent. It implies that you could take a VB.NET programmer and drop him/her in an "equivalent" environment. You can't

I'm probably one of those unfortunate that had a manager who felt an urge to develop enterprise level in VB...
From your post I can conclude you are not in the same boat...
The day you will be curious enough to check how TIOBE's index built, you will understand how it is useless and on the same day you will understand how VB is limited...

Although lately it hasn't been given the same attention as C#.
It works the same for .NET, but I don't even think .NET Core supports VB.
As far as I'm concerned that's Microsoft telling us VB is still supported, but not further developed.
Anyway, that's not really the language's fault...
