Alfredo, I am not a programmer and you know that, but judging
for your examples it seems you (1) consider being 'modern' something
good, (2) VB.Net and C# 'modern', (3) restrict yourself to the MS .Net
platform.

Then 'modern' isn't quite useful an adjective to programming languages, since arguably some of the best languages are quite old -- Lisp anyone?
And finally all this ignores the real issues: that languages should adapt to user-defined data types (such as those that can be defined in a true RDBMS), not the other way round; and that SQL data types are not a good example, SQL not being extensible in any sane manner.
