    Visual Basic is still alive in MANY company codebases across the world. It’s not a great language for developers, but it’s a perfectly acceptable first language and still used professionally.

      Yeah, and is the basis of a lot of the more complicated scripting in Excel; which rightly or wrongly is a very heavily used tool in business. It is also a bit more involved than interpreting screen clicks etc. Its not fun to use, but its also not useless especially if it helps you learn the basics of things.
