These are valid concerns, but my arguments against them are: -There is some momentum to replace or support Python with JS/TS. For example, because JS/TS is syntactically nicer language (curly brackets etc.). -Having two fairly similar languages requires ~ double the support, but does it give double benefit? -It's not necessary to maintain compatibility with MS Office, and taking this goal limits the prospects of LO. It's then a choice between whether support for MS Office is a better goal than designing an independent office software. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
