I don't think they are.

The real power with .NET is the framework, not the language. It is trivial
to port 95% of C# to CB and vice versa - it's just very straight forward.
If you know one of those, it's just a matter of getting used to the syntax
in order to learn the other. It should take a week or 2 to get comfortable
with the other language.

The statistics are not significant because the method desribed in the legend
doesn't return significant results, especially not for language names like
"VB.NET", "Visual Basic .NET", because often the terms "VB .NET" and "VB"
are used to refer to this language.

I have once read that in Calfornia once is proven with a kind of a method
like this that babies come from cabbage.

I am sorry, I don't believe that.
