I understand the hatred of VB generally but as a non-programmer (just technically literate and knows enough to be dangerous with a computer) writing VB (in the form of VBA) was extremely accessible and surprisingly intuitive - far more than I ever experienced when dabbling in python, JavaScript and Rust.

She's sad because she's realizing he's just a script kiddy and not a real programmer.
In a different language that uses whitespace:
I'm allowed to do it, it's allowed
(I don't use it a lot and I'm sure many dislike this because longer lines especially if they have less display width for whatever reason)
