COBOL, BASIC and FORTRAN have been used for a long time as the main development language. There are many software that use these languages to write and develop the exhilaration. However, after years of development, COBOL and Fortran gradually abandoned, and thanks to the existence of Microsoft, Basic has been enduring. The first thing to say about Visual Basic 6, which is the most classic version, is the epitome of success. That vb.net for 10 years, to ensure compatibility with Visual Basic and Microsoft's. NET.
But such efforts do not seem to succeed, and Visual Basic is not quickly replaced, so that Visual Basic and vb.net are developed as two languages. Now Visual Basic is no longer as brilliant as it once was, and vb.net to lose its place in the top 10. Isn't there a basic language in the top 10 of the leaderboard? We are pessimistic, looking to PureBasic, Thinbasic, BBC Basic (79), which is not enough to compensate for the decline of Visual Basic.
