Does anyone use VB for batch programming?

I was just wondering if anyone uses VB for traditional batch data processing. We have been experimenting with it, and it isn't going over well. No doubt that it is not the best language for this type of processing, but they won't embrace anything else either. It pits the traditional big iron people against the geeks who don't bathe, IMO.

 

If anyone can give me examples of how it can be better than say COBOL, or can give me examples of why I should argue against it, I'd appreciate it. I'm not anti-VB, I just don't see any use for it in batch processing.

The only real advantage may be VB's file I/O...

 

That's all I can think of, nothing else really.

C++ is better overall, for any type of programming
