I've had only a passing experience with VB, and even then, it
dates back to the mid-1990'es, so I may not understand what
exactly you're asking for, but my understanding is that most of
the contemporary high-level languages, both compiled and not,
offer comparable facilities.
In particular, Go [1] appears to offer a simple yet powerful OO
system, and even though it's still a very new language
(introduced in 2009), it already has an extensive library, and
offers the compiled code's performance comparable to that of C.
The other popular choice is Python [2], and the one I'd like to
investigate myself is Racket [3] (which is a dialect of Scheme,
which in turn is a dialect of Lisp.)
