Bet it’ll be their own special flavor of Python that doesn’t play nice with literally any other packages or interpreters.
It’s literally just Python and it says that it supports standard packages/modules. And Guido Van Rossum works at Microsoft now, there’s no way he would let them bastardize it, he would’ve quit before that happened.
I don’t understand why people will find any reason to shit on anything while not even (seemingly) reading the article. If you did, I’m sorry, but it really doesn’t seem like you did.
But yeah, fuck it, let’s rip it all out and just keep the VBA integration until the heat death of the universe.
What makes you think Guido would have any degree of influence on microsofts decision here? He doesn’t get final say on business objectives, his role is to continue contributing to python while working under the Microsoft umbrella so it brings them good pr. Him leaving would hurt that PR but this is a corporation, they don’t give a sh*t so long as the green keeps rolling in. Same thing happened with John carmack and oculus/meta. Don’t trick yourself into thinking these guys are hired because the company sees them as indispensable, its just a pr act.

Haha, too true! They can never just give us a useful tool without “Microsoft-izing” it first
Oldie but a goodie.

Just like how OfficeScript is but isn’t JavaScript?

I can’t imagine why, either.

James Gosling works for Amazon, what’s your point? It’s all PR
On the other hand, Microsoft currently employs Guido, so he might influence things to stay pure.
