Well, my question is: How close does Visual Basic looks like DM?

It's less like DM than most other languages, actually. Java and Python are probably the closest you'll get to DM without it being DM.

It may not be very similar, but you can obviously see how BYOND can help you understand different programming concepts, all of which generally apply to C++. You have the fact that you can't use a variable until you reference it as just a really simple example. It's a good way to get an easy start onto the programming scene, which is why I love it. The learning curve on DM is amazingly steep.

Visual Basic isn't exactly object oriented.
Go with Java/C#/Python if you want it to resemble DM in some way. | |
