So, I don’t want this to get into a flame war between C# and VB.NET developers. This is purely from a standpoint of a development department going forward. We’ve been a VB.NET company for years, but that was mainly due to who we’ve hired. That requirement has fallen off the wayside as of late, as we’ve pulled in 2 guys who specialize in C#. I used to be a C++/C# guy before converting to VB.NET for this company.

So, to everyone who has to deal with this whether on a hiring basis or a maintainability basis: how do you handle standardizing languages of choice going forward? I’m inclined to make a push for C#, as that’ll make 3 solid C# developers here. But just curious what everyone’s thoughts on this are.

    If you have a lot of code that is already written in a particular language, prefer that language.

    Otherwise, if you have more developers well-versed in one language over the other, prefer that language.

    Otherwise, prefer C# (it is generally more popular, and feature-wise they aren’t different enough to make a meaningful choice over features alone).
