If you're worried about difficulty than C++ isn't going to be for you, if you don't want to learn VB.Net specifically, then learn C#. VB.Net isn't "noobish" it's just the reputation that it's gained from leechers on that other forum. Half of the people I see there talking about how bad it is don't even know how to use half of the functions in VB.Net anyway. It's all in the programmer, if you don't work with it, or you don't have a strong interest in it, then you'll never comprehend what any language is capable of doing.
