So. I'm a hobby pythonist. I like it a lot, so when a problem occured at my workplace I offered to my boss that I could write something. I don't know what happened, but at the end we agreed that the best way would be to use excel and write the engine in VBA. So, I spend two and a half days to learn the basics and start to write some code to show him a demo version of my idea. At the end of the last day I gave it up. IT HURTS!!!!!! After python it'so dumb and the syntax is so painful... Finally in the last half day I wrote the whole piece of @&*^ in python. I hope it'll be good enough. I don't want to use VBA again. I'm a cnc operator/programmer and I don't have enough time to learn it. It's bad?

    Having programmed in VBA and some others before, it’s sort of painful seeing and learning the syntax cause it’s quite different from the others. So I do agree on that. But moving from Python to VBA can be a little hard, if Python’s the only language you know.

    Programming excel is so useful, it makes it double painful that vba is what it is. They should replace it with net.Core. It would also allow scripts to run on mac and linux.
