I've probably mentioned this before on another news article. Not like it really matters.
Python is nice as a beginner scripting language since it's (to my own judgement) the most easily readable language to its function set.
When working with software like office, you are going to have a lot of users that don't exactly spend their days programming, or studying syntax.
Excel is a little different in their own regard. The functions system has a lot of depth to it, and makes sense to a cell system, but for some it can be a but overwhelming in terms of how its written, since everything has to be written exactly as a function.
I guess you also have generic office macros, haven't used them since high school.
In saying that, could this somehow be a reason why the office team have decided on a python interpreter, instead of say JavaScript or Microsoft's work on Typescript.
Because python is easy to write, fast to learn, therefore users or even really employees in large data management positions don't have to worry about their time input?
