That's easy, even without forgetting about C:
Watch closely....
C is the best procedural language bar none, C++ the best all round multiparadigm language and VB.net is soley the province of those unable to realise the aspiration of being real developers. Lastly, java, whilst being syntactically clean and nice is for workshy pseudo developers that are afraid of implementing absolutely anything for themselves or having to know the first thing about system level development.
