I’ve always thought Microsoft should embed it into Excel as a coequal language to VBA.

Finance programmers would go nuts!

True, and it may even attract R users since it seems functional in its core.

MS did include lambdas as a primitive but also decided to use python as new formula language.

Yeah it would have been great for finance, and the ocaml and ml langauge seems to be popular in some HFT firms.

Saddly i think even this boat has sailed since they added python to Excel now. A true miss opportunity.
