For > example, because JS/TS is syntactically nicer language (curly brackets etc.). I don't see any information about "momentum to replace or support Python" so could you add some refs? "syntactically nicer language" thanks to curly brackets, isn't it a bit subjective? Just a matter of taste for me. Personnally, I'm not against curly brackets, lots of languages use it (including C++ used for LO) but I appreciate the elegant way to make block just by indenting in Python. > -Having two fairly similar languages requires ~ double the support, but does > it give double benefit? For those who use Python, it's not a matter to double benefit or not, it's a matter to be able to program LO or not in Python so 0 or 1. > -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. Since LO wants to support docx, xlsx, etc. in addition to odt, ods, ... I suppose it's necessary. If it's not the case, it would mean to dump OOXML support completely since quite some people, above all in companies, use macros, so not sure LO people would be ok but I may be wrong. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
