VB6. It was a horrible language but I've yet to see anything really come close to it in terms of quick-and-dirty getting shit done

Would you say it's significantly better than python for quick and dirty work? Or if not what still supported tool comes the closest for you.

Have you ever tried Delphi (and to a lesser extent/polish Lazarus?)

The problem with Delphi is the cost. I've tried it briefly but that was during a trial period and I didn't even get to use it much. Embarcadero's pricing on even the entry level products to use Delphi was way more than I was willing to spend in order to even see if I liked it.
