LibreOffice already had JS
... and Python that actually gets executed on your machine, not someone else's machine (ie the cloud).
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't that something entirely different? This is python in a cell of a spreadsheet, which could be really good, but what you linked seems to be for macros, same as excel's VBA
Good point, that's another difference between the two. Although you can probably achieve the same result with both.
Not depending on the cloud processing your data is more important in my opinion.
Python in a spreadsheet would be so helpful, abstracting it out to macros less so. Better than making them in VBA I'm sure, but still not the same thing.
I'm very basic, more thinking about stuff like using Python f-strings and string formatting vs excels formatting.
