Are you talking the VB6-and-before, or VB.Net? Given that MS dropped support for the VB6 line a decade ago (2005-2008 depending on whether you had extended support) with little to no help in transitioning to VB.Net which (pejoratively called "Visual Fred" because it's so different), I wouldn't want to depend on it at all. Especially since VB.Net is so radically different from VB6. As it seems you've found. > I don't really mind learning one more language if there is > sufficient utility of it.

Also, while there are language gotchas in all of them, Python's make a lot more sense to me compared to those in the C-flavored languages. > I have some smaller VB programs (single form, little math) for my > own use.
