People still use VBA all the time. I think of it differently than the basic language of the 80s or even the more powerful commercial compilers used by some today like PowerBasic. VBA is just so highly tied to Excel. There is a new way to also script Excel with some kind of typescript. It's built into the latest version of Excel and seems to be more straightforward.
- nxobject 2y agoAt this point, I think there are multiple sufficiently general-purpose languages bolted onto Excel if you have 365 (sadly enough, I work at a place with LTSC) - Power Query, the array language subset of Excel's formula language, Python, Office.js, VBA. But if you're collaborating with people I think you only predictably have VBA.
