I believe that's why Microsoft dropped VBScript as their preferred 
scripting language for .NET.  They favor JScript (ECMAScript).

I spend most of my time these days with .NET.  So far, so good.  I think 
ActiveState is working on Perl.NET and Python.NET.  the number of .NET 
languages is quite large now.  i last counted 19.
