The question is why ;) and when. I think (...) their focus (and all other
mono developers) is to finish the current projects.

See Topic "VB.NET" where Miguel de Icaza wrote
"I believe that a VB.NET compiler will require a different semantic analysis
back-end, even requiring a complete re-implementation of it."

BTW: Have you compared the .NET VB language with VB <=6?
I don't have much experience with VB, but as far as i know, many things have
changed for .NET , but the differences to C# aren't that big, are they?
