Two things here:

1. don't ever consider visual basic for any comparison of any sort: it's basically (ha!) the worst example of a programming language that I can think of before malborge

stop it - many people say the same about PHP

2. speed is not relevant in this scope: program correctness is. Final properties would allow switching value object representations from accessor (getter) based logic (extremely slow) to public property based (less overhead, also in writing)

in which scope is speed not relevant?

depends on your application, in my scopes i try to avoid expensive opcodes and useless function calls, program correctness is a completly different thing and it's not one or the other but both
