Where's the love for VBScript?!
In 2008. (The year PowerShell 2.0 came out)
Right here, will spend way to long writing a vba macro when i could have done it without quicker ๐
I wrote VBScript for about 7 or 8 years professionally, starting in 2010. I don't miss it.
I started in 2019 and write almost exclusively VBScript. It might be a bit limuted in some ways, but it's quite useful in other ways. And it's easy to learn!
Ease of learning is about all it has going for it these days. There are many many languages that are as easy to learn, but much more powerful and, frankly, useful.
