Only if you're talking about Visual Basic from 2005 and earlier, otherwise the latest VB far more advanced than Java considering it has near feature parity to C#. (Lambdas, syntactic sugar for monadic binding, contravariant types, expression trees, etc. etc. etc.)

In a nutshell, you can view a statement *S* as an expression with type **()**, the "unit type" inhabited just by the single value `()`. Then sequencing by semicolon is just syntax sugar for sequential `let` binding: [S; T] ≣ let () = S in [T] where `[]` denotes the syntactical transformation. This means that st...

Classes and functions would share the same namespace, and classes are first-class (as they should be). This works great in Python, classes are simply callable with the convention that calling a class constructs an instance. In my experience, the greatest benefit of this is that you can substitute a class with a factor...

I would imagine that it would. You can make lots of assumptions about statically typed code (didn't look like it supported duck typing either). When you objects are static and known not to change, you can make assumptions on the size of the object, how different math operations work on the object, etc. You don't have...
