You can use COM/OLE to script Excel with Python or JS.

I think Microsoft is making JS a first-class scripting language for Excel (and slowly deprecating VBA).

It is already; VBA for the desktop versions isn’t going away anytime soon but it also not being developed apart from updates to the object model to reflect added features.
