Another comment from the VB Explorer Board:
Re: C++ vs. C#.NET vs. VB.NET
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Kent's full of crap! :)
I have yet to see a business app that can't be written in VB instead
of C++ and have the user know the difference. Most of the problems
with business apps involve query times against backend databases,
which usually isn't the front end's fault.
Just so you don't think I'm biased, I've done VB and C++ stuff for
almost 10 years. VB beats C++ hands down as the business dev language
of choice.

In recent thread on IB board, Kent commented that C++ was the way

go for creating serious apps. Is this really true any more if
you're
starting from .NET, where all of its languages are based on same
underlying runtime lib.s and architecture. For purposes of building
a
killer trading app, does it really matter much whether you're using
VB.NET or C#.NET or C++? And can't you just mix in legacy C and C++
lib.s as necessary?
