Visual Basic was designed for code monkeys that only have a rudimentary understanding of programming in order to stop them from doing stupid things. Does that answer your question?

depends what kind of Visual Basic and with what conventions. If it is Visual Basic dot NET with Option Strict, then its as if you've been coding C# without curlies. Then you're just normal, yet to be Lisp-tier.
Otherwise, you can grade yourself accordingly on the existence or absence of Option Explicit, using types at all (is it just a clusterfuck of implicit variant variables?), using floating point for For loops, On Error Resume Next, Goto, line numbers, etc. being present in your code.
One of the advantages of the pre-.NET VBs was the code it generated was nearly trivial to decompile as it consisted of mostly function calls into the VB runtime.

Just the Windows API does that to me and I have never touched VB in my life. I have come to the realization I have become too dependent on the Windows API. Bill Gates has really hax'd my anus. But I don't even care.
