I’m a software developer. I like learning stuff. I think space is cool. I want astronautical engineering to be my final career. We’ll see what happens.

Office suite already supports JS, shaking head. However, I thought VBA was perfect. As an accountant I wrote my first custom software in Excell and Access. MS Office you’ll always be my boo!

Jerod co-hosts The Changelog, crashes JS Party, and takes out the trash (his old code) once in awhile.

I believe this Python integration is tighter than the current scripting APIs, but I could be wrong. It’s like you have direct access to Python at the cellular level.
My dad ran a same-day small-package delivery business back in the day and it was built entirely on Excel and Access. My first “production” database was an Access database… it was a confusing mess but good enough to get the job done!
