VB.NET is a multi-paradigm, statically-typed programming language with object-oriented, declarative, functional, generic, lazy, integrated querying features and type inference. Statically-typed means that identifiers have a type set at compile time--like those in Java, C++ or Haskell--instead of holding data of any type like those in Python, Ruby or JavaScript.
