[RESOLVED] The end of Visual Basic

[Nightwalker83]

Hi,

Yesterday, I was told by a friend of mine at school that they are no longer teaching Visual Basic there but instead moved over to teaching c#. That got me think could Visual Basic 2008 be the last version of Visual Basic ever? It seems to be losing favor in the business world in favor of languages such as c++, c#, etc.

Further more I was reading on wikipedia and there doesn't seem to be any mention of Visual Basic 2010 which, would be the logical choice since Visual Studios 2010 in the works.

Also, a members of this very forum have said that there companies don't seem to use Visual Basic as much as other programming languages.

Edit:

After doing some searching I found that VB2010 will be released as part of VS2010 but that doesn't change my question. Is Visual Basic use coming to an end commercially?

What are your opinions on this?
