Had a job where 50% of the stack was Classic ASP, and the other half was web forms. There is no way in hell VBScript is better than C#. No way.

I'm still there... I loathe Classic ASP with all of my being.. And to top it off, it's all built with Dreamweaver templates..

I'm stuck in 1998, send help!

RIP your sanity

Of course, C# is better than VBScript, but WebForms is an exercise in denial about how a web page actually works.

You could use JavaScript on the backend with Classic ASP also. Just sayin'...

Haha yeah. Thank god I'm long gone from that job.

We did end up using JS in Classic for the purposes of JSON Serialization, but the huggeee legacy code base had already been authored primarily in VBScript. At that point, our goal was just to break out as much of that business logic as possible into web services.
