sure, asm at dawn, 10 paces etc
vb i always regard as a 'prototype' language, prototype your crap in it, then code it in a real language... course this was in the vb4/6 days, when exe's got bloated .. hello world > 1mb etc, required runtime libs and so on, never ever looked at vb since those days, moved on to asm and c.. main preference was always asm though

(Got into Java lately, had to translate a 100 kb MS-SQL stored procedure - fortunately, of my own - into it. Java is very nice: easy to learn and remarkably fast, much-much better than I expected!) Yeah, Visual BASIC is nice for little stuff - although I certainly prefer small C programs (mainly general-use pipe stages, like the GNU utilities) and/or batch files for scripting and automizing frequently used procedures, because that is more general than Windows-only Visual BASIC and also easier to edit, compile and run - but for large programs, ehhh...
