VBA,

SQL,

Golang,

Bash

(sadly in this order of frequency)

For what do you use so much VBA on a daily basis? My only experience with it was writing Excel macros back when I worked with data.

Pretty much what you say. Automating data maniplation/transformation, and also providing a simpler way for non-tech employees to enter data into Excel (Open Excel shhet -> Form pops up -> there is one Textfield in a form -> enter value -> value is placed where is should be placed in the sheet)

It's not necessatily on a daily basis, but mostly it's VBA.
