> one of the easiest coding languages to learn if you don’t have a computer science background

Really? A language that has values passed by value, values passed by reference, references passed by value and references passed by reference? (And both late and early binding, and auto-boxing with all kinds of mysterious type-conversions, etc. and so on. And default properties.)

What makes it easy for beginners is the integrated environment, which is also what makes it difficult for more experienced programmers as it doesn't integrate with their version control system and other common tools.
