We're just against the fact to remove something which is widely used. Autodesk has an API about JS, ok great for them! Had they something about Python and they would have throw it just to keep JS? Concerning VB, Autodesk doesn't have to deal with MsOffice docs so they don't need to care about it. Please compare softwares which can really be compared, Autodesk is not an Office suite. You may compare with MsOffice, OnlyOffice, Calligra Suite. (I haven't taken a look about JS, Python, VB or any other language support for them) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
