I understand the hatred of VB generally but as a non-programmer (just technically literate and knows enough to be dangerous with a computer) writing VB (in the form of VBA) was extremely accessible and surprisingly intuitive - far more than I ever experienced when dabbling in python, JavaScript and Rust.

(What I made was unhinged, unholy and should never see the light of day. It made a normally talkative .net programmer go silent in shock yet it is responsible for managing the project resourcing in a big department in the company... But it was quite fun and it does work...)

I do not ask your pardon, Master Elrond, for the Black Speech of ~~Mordor~~ Microsoft may yet be heard in every corner of the West!
