[Python] Why do all versions of VB still keep C and Python style while statement? [closed]

In C/C++/C#/Java, while statement is an important statement for looping:

while (condition) {
statement;
}


So it is with Python. In Python the syntax of while statement is

while condition:
statement


VB contains Do Loop statement, which can do the same thing as C/C++/C#/Java and Python by using While clause

Do While condition
statement
Loop


However, VB6 and Office VBA still keeps C and Python style While statement

While condition
statement

which is equivalent to

Do While condition
statement
Loop


VB.NET still contains this kind of While statement, but the syntax becomes

While condition
statement
End While
