          I was just going to ask how long before Libreoffice has local python scripting. Of course it already has it and MS is copying them in a shittier way, silly me.

          GSheets lets you run python code? I thought they were all js-based

          edit: I misread, you’re saying LibreOffice has Python support, nvm

            They don’t let you write custom JS scripts, at least not without hacks AFAIK. We are talking about scripting languages for macros like Office’s infamous VBA.

              I think what they let you do is write mini add-ons using the API and support JS in an in-browser editor. Then you have to enable the add-ons. I guess equivalently you can do the same things with an IDE and any language, but it felt like they “officially” supported JS.

              Right. So like not what people are saying in the posts above. Yet I still get downvoted.

              Anyway, thanks for confirming this is not cloud.

                Plus that was also perfectly explained already above. Just check the thread under ChaoticNeutralCzech…

      The difference is Microsoft will feed your scripts into training its AI.

        Microsoft is stupid, but not too stupid to realize that Excel users are generally tech-illiterate and most of them will produce garbage code.
