both we and our customers need Cobol, Fortran, and other half-dead languages coders

Oh, I'm sorry man. I don't know everything, I'm working there less than a year, but I only heard of VB a couple of times. In order of popularity it's like: C, C++, Java, then everything else

I was just kidding - I haven't touched Visual Basic in almost 20 years now. I'm not sure I could still code in it even if I wanted to.
