I agree. One of the great things with VB was you had an instant "programming environment" when you opened it from Excel. But I think learning VB feels like a waste since you can only use it in a limited domain.

Learning Python is just as easy as VB and can be used across many domains, but it's hard to set up an environment (install packages, managing env's, etc.). I thought it'd be cool if you could make Python work like VB from Google Sheets, which lead to Wax[0]. It lets people run Python from Sheets with zero infrastructure. If anyone has internal apps that are heavily dependent on Sheets, I'd really appreciate your feedback.
