Visual Basic and Respect: Will VB's New LINQ to XML Prowess Finally Gain It the Community Respect Accorded to Other Mainstream Languages?

Overview In Visual Studio 2008, both Visual Basic and C# have added some really great new language features. The author loves implicit type declaration, the use of anonymous types, and more. C# has some advantages in the new environment, but the author confesses: there's one specific area where Visual Basic has pulled way out in front, and severely demands the respect it deserves. That area is in the support for LINQ over XML. In this paper the author shows some comparative code samples, to prove his point.
