Is this going to make Excel better, or Python worse?

[–] Teppic@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

Neither very much. Python won't change. Excel when running in the cloud will become more powerful, but the workbooks using Python will also be incompatible with desktop versions of Excel. At least that's what I'm understanding so far.

How would it affect Python? Did Linux gets worse as a result of WSL?
