   Consider lack of vocal support in comp.ai.fuzzy as a reason... (:-))   
      
   Seriously speaking, the language choice should be based on what does it and   
   the environment of have to offer for the problem at hand. There should be a   
   list of requirements to the product you are going to design. Sort of - the   
   thingy should be portable (platforms), maintainable (n years ahead),   
   extensible (to what), embedded (memory/CPU constraints), reusable, have GUI   
   (y/n), deal with a DB (which), handle actuators/sensors (vendors, hardware   
   interfaces), be integrated (into products X,Y,Z), support concurrency   
   (heterogenous/symmetric) and so on, and so forth. And of course, "the   
   customer says it must be in VB" is a requirement to respect.
