They're not both popular. It's clear you haven't used vb.net very much.

How about Cobol?
Cobol will be extremely popular in 8,000 years

Assembly programmer here.
I can say that it's way better then Python or VBnet.

I'd not even heard of VBnet before you mentioned it in this forum.

vb.net, not this dude. I used to get it for free from Microsoft and only used it a few times.
It won't (or at least wouldn't) run on Linux, so was totally limited to MS stuff.

Since it's .net, it might be able to run on .net core, which is open source, made by microsoft, and cross platform. Otherwise, there's Mono, which is a linux project that aims to be able to run .net applications.

But still, if you're aiming for .net, just use C# or F#. VB (any of it's flavors) are just bad languages.

I refuse to touch anything that comes from MS!

[nilamo]

That's not really fair. .net core is open source, and hosted on github. Asp.net is one of the best (if not #1) web frameworks currently available. C# is currently one of my favorite languages.

Microsoft's done some wacky things before, but every now and then there's some real gold in there.

My bad. Their games are awesome.
