Answer 1

VB.NET includes some of VB6's design flaws for the sake of backward compatibility. While Javascript has the same design flaw (indeed an even worse one, as its with leads to more ambiguous constructs), most other C-syntax languages don't, so there's no backward-compatibility benefit in adding it to C#.
