I love Excel and the combination of data, functions and custom code. But in 2020 VBA is a joke, surely we can have C# or similar in a spreadsheet already?

C++/C# integration is still painful and unsupported/unreliable outside of Windows Desktop version.

Microsoft is instead steadily expanding JS scripting support. They even added JS UDF recently.
