Hand Me a Fork

Perl
my $foo = $q->params("bar");

VBScript Spawn of the Devil "Language"
Dim Foo
Foo = Request("Bar")

No multi-line strings (I've bitched about this before, but when entering in huge ass SQL queries, it gets to you):

Perl
$sql = "select foo
from bar
where baz = 123
group by qux;"

Or
$sql = <<END;
select foo
from bar
where baz = 123
group by qux;
END

... plus a few other ways to do it of course...

VBScript Horror to All that Use it
SQL = "select foo "
SQL = SQL & "from bar "
SQL = SQL & "where baz = 123"
SQL = SQL & "group by qux"

Or this, not much better....
SQL = "select foo "
"from bar " &_
"where baz = 123" &_
"group by qux" &_

I don't know how people use this without jamming a fork in their eye after a couple of hours, honestly.
