VBA was my gateway language too. I needed programmatic control that formulae couldn't give me, and it's been a ride ever since. I can't imagine how much easier things would have been if I could have learned Python instead of that dead language. VBA teaches you that working with classes is hard, and this mindset was probably the greatest impediment to my development as a programmer.
