Paul posted an interesting tid-bit of news yesterday if you missed it, yes it's true, the JavaScript compiler they wrote for Silverlight 1.1 is written in Visual Basic! Score for the home team! :-)
If they want the Silverlight Javascript Compiler to go faster, they should automatically convert it to C#. There is a good VB.Net to C# Converter here: www.vbconversions.net
Hi Dave,
I don't think you understand the point here. First off, C# could not be used here because it lacks dynamic support that VB has. And second, there is no speed difference between VB and C# as it compiles down to the same IL.
