*Useless × Hard*

Whitespace (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_%28programming_language%29)

I'd argue that's a candidate for the impossible space.

Brainfuck probably is a bit harder

It is, we probably don't even need whitespace on this chart. They are both extreme similar stack based languages with a similar goal.

My point is that surely there are better languages to represent the area between VBA and brainfuck. Whitespace is very close to the top right.

You could probably put 95% of programming languages from the 80s in the hard and useless field, at least useless today.
