I bet they were so pleased to discover that they asked you for ASP and you wrote it in PerlScript. It was probably a blind assumption of theirs that you would use VBScript, but even so... if you did that to me your services would not be required again.
That's not say I like VBScript - in fact, I cannot believe anyone would design a language as poor after all the decades of research into good syntax.
With C#/Db, M$ realised that Java was popular with progrmamers and basically sought to copy the syntax. That's not to there haven't been Java-like languages, but the two are often indistinguishable from each other.
I just can't wait for MS people to disregard Java's role in the making C# by remarking they've never seen such a well-designed language (and so much faster than Java too, so who cares about the other OSes?)
