    Can confirm. Was quite unhappy in my mechanical engineering job, had an opportunity to develop something nice in python, was told we’d do it in excel/vba instead, still unhappy.

      Nice. You can put that on your resume so you can get more of those kinds of jobs.
      (/s. I like excel to a point but i really feel your pain too-- and fuck vba)

        It’s cloud based though… Not ideal. I get why they had to do that (they didn’t want to expose people to the Python infra shit show) but it’s still kind of a shame.

        Would be better if they added Typescript support IMO.

          …like the js infra stuff isn’t it’s own special nightmare?
