>Reduced learning curve.

If 99% of the learning matierials, tutorials, help files, examples, courses, ect. are in VB.NET or C#, then that will be the shortest learning curve. A third party language with zero visibility on the whole might make typing "end if" easier but there is very little beyond that which will make the learning curve smaller rather than larger.
