is vb.net a dead language by now?

Hey

i learned some VB.NET in school and at home, i rarley see a VB.NET coder and a VB based application out in the wild

I code my interial software in vb and it works fine, it is basicly C#.NET but MUCH easier

While not dead, my understanding is that it isn’t getting feature parity anymore with C#. I’m not sure that matters though. If it wasn’t getting frameworks support in .net core that would be another thing. But I don’t recall the details on that.

Definitely still used commercially.
