I totally agree and felt that such that after I went through the pain of learning VB.NET, I felt rather silly when I took a look at C# and realized I had learned like 99% of the whole thing is just the .NET ecosystem, so picking up C# was pretty quick.
Did the same thing, but in my mind, 50% of knowing a language is muscle memory, you type without even thinking about it because there is zero doubt or ambiguity about the syntax, even anticipating the reaction of the IDE as you type.
That’s why when I switched from vb.net to c# (when microsoft announced they were deinvesting in it 2-3y ago), I stopped writing vb completely. It is hard to fit two languages in muscle memory (unless the syntax is pretty close).
