I suppose you could tie your future to your belief in the future marketing success of Microsoft. I cannot see how C# might be more relevant in the job market than Ada, which clearly does have job demand. Has C# surpassed Ada in the job market simply because your expect it to? Is this how you make technical and job decisions? You follow Microsoft marketing announcements? Why be interested in C# in favor of Visual Basic?
