- auxym 9y agoI'm guessing the popularity of Python is why they're going with it. Quants and other power users are starting to drop Excel and moving on to Python, so they figure they might be able to keep some market share this way. Otherwise I'd guess they'd try to push one of their .net languages, probably C#.

- mmjaa 9y agoYeah, who cares about some dumb list? The point is why can't we put any - and all/other - of these languages in the Excel runloop by now? You say Python, I say Lua, someone else says Go.. seems to me that all of the above oughta have a go at it. Excel is freakin' everywhere.
