I hope they kill off VBA too. I still see some teams in banks implementing Monte Carlo simulators or PDE solvers in straight VBA ๐คข
I have seen critical enterprise applications run in VBA in excel. Removing VBA would cause global economic ruin. I'm pretty sure that's the unspoken backstory for the Fallout series.
Well it's gotta be done some time... otherwise we end up with another version of COBOL.
We're already there, I don't see VBA being phased out of accounting or finance for at least a decade and I'm not even sure then.
