Microsoft own "statistics" claim million of C# devs, 100ks of VB.NET devs and 10ks of F# devs.

Tiobe is strange. Either they blend all Basic together (legacy code bases) or something more stupid happens :)

Its not strange. Just a result of bad input.

Search for:

+"C# programming" - 2 340 000 results <- USED

+"Visual Basic .NET programming" - 17 000 000 results <- USED

+"C# .NET programming" - 26 600 000 results.
