Arguing passionately about programming languages has been around since the second language was introduced.
I've lived through 47 years of the phenomenon and never have tired of participating. VB.NET is your gig? I have empathy. My advice? Move on from that job.
The arguments expose the pros and cons of languages, which are helpful the next time you choose one for a project. In the 80s, the emphasis was on speed and memory. That's something I still take seriously. You won't find me writing code that's interpreted or JITed or garbage collected when high bandwidth or transaction counts are involved. I'm saving the company money and doing my part for the planet.
I don't begrudge anyone of their languages of choice. Most are faster to develop and maintain. If I wanted to understand data science, I'd start learning Python. I've done an awful lot of Windows and browser programs in C#.NET and enjoyed it.
The right tool for the job is the thing.
Having said that, VB still needs to be eliminated from computing. 😀
