well, it is not about performance. It is about limits. And stuff done in VB needs shitloads of runtimes and dll to run.
So, yes, vb is for "noob" but are we not noob at first when we learn ?.
My first language (beside "logo" at school when i was a kid) was Basic, quick-basic, powerbasic(the best basic for PC at this time and goddamn fast and could compile rather small exe files.). I did a lot of neat stuff with it but eventually i reached it's limit.
Anyway, learning C/C++ is reeealy easy. If you can count until 10 then Within 2 day you will get the basic of it like nothing. There is tons of tutorials and easy to install free C compiller on the net.
When you learning C/C++, you will notice that there is a lot more of language that look like C/C++ so it will be easier after to learn other language.
Anyway, you probally know all this but i just wanted to brag about it
