Visual Basic makes me depressed. Seriously. I don't know what it is about it, but the few times I've tried to learn or use Visual Basic I have felt ill. I fear what I might do if I had to use it for any length of time. Worst language I spent any significant amount of time with was an inhouse language called JITE. I probably burned my docs on it. It was a web mark-up language interpreted by Java servlets. Not sure if it was started before JSP was introduced or somebody just didn't know. Everything was abstracted 10 steps and nothing was straightforward. In the end we rewrote every JITE app in JSP and life improved.
