Yes, it is true - you can read about it straight from the source here.  The upcoming Javascript compiler for Silverlight as well as the compiler VBx (VB 10) are both being written in VB.NET !   I am happy to (finally) have some really good examples to counter "Obviously Microsoft doesn't take VB seriously, since everything from Microsoft is written in C#"

Good Times ...
