"And you think YOU had it hard!" ((c) Monty Python (I think)). 

I occasionally have to code in VB here at Cardiff Uni as the Psych
department has "standardised" on VB, and I have to write things that
other people may modify. Ick Ick! I am tempted to go completely Python
on them, because I think there is a good chance that a newbie to the
language could learn enough in about the same time as it would take
them to understand my VB code (which isn't deliberately obfuscated).

I sometimes use Delphi too, and prefer it to VB, but nothing has yet
come close to Python of course...
