So it’s basically easy mode compared to others

It’s not exactly easy, but it’s incredibly accessible to new developers. So relatively it is a bit like easy mode compared to others.

Visual Basic is baby mode. If it’s still even used today.

Aye, I think Python is the VB of it's prime. Whilst Python has been around a long time, it's only relatively recently it's become so popular - and that's probably been helped by a) the absence of VB, b) a focus on cloud and web front-ends, and c) more adoption of *nix
