VB.NET对ASP.NET 5（MVC6）的支持

Question

I've heard rummors that ASP.NET 5 does not support VB.net. Is this correct? Or does this apply only on some particular scenarios?

Answer 1

Update 5/1/2015

On April 23rd, the ASP.NET team announced that support for Visual Basic will be coming to ASP.NET 5.

Original Answer

Though it was mentioned in a comment, it's worth having a full answer.

There are no plans to support VB in ASP.NET 5 in terms of compilation, project templates, and other tools. This is discussed in the following GitHub issue on the ASP.NET 5 project: https://github.com/aspnet/Home/issues/236

As that issues also mentions, ASP.NET 5 has some in-progress support to enable non-C# compilers to be used, but there is still no official plans to support VB (you'd have to roll your own).

Answer 2

"We are excited today to announce that ASP.NET 5 will have full support with Visual Basic (both tooling and runtime – including cross platform runtime support). As always, we will continue this development of ASP.NET 5 in the open, and you can track our progress or even contribute on GitHub at http://github.com/aspnet/home ."

Answer 3

As per my understanding You can still develop application using VB.NEt in Visual studio 2015, but you will not get the benefits of ASP.NET 5 like cross platform etc.

This is my understanding. Official decelerations are yet to come.
