Future of VBA

It's necessary to think of exactly 10 years ahead of now because it makes your actions more based on future.

well, when you are doing good something anything, the best thing you received out of it is a community of Good People. Yes, the best asset.

I met one guy on LinkedIn named Vincent ISOZ and he suggested me to provide the same VBA solution on power query. because according to him it is the future. in the next 10 years, every corporation will moving towards cloud office. Then he wrote one comment and I really felt, I should post that comment here in front of you guys, because if VBA is the tree then we are the leaves of it.

well here is his comment...

"I also worked for Microsoft as an external consultant during 4 years. VBA will be stopped in 2024 (according to the roadmap I saw but you can probably add the 3 usual years of delay) as only Office Online will still be maintained (cloud strategy of Microsoft). We already know that the replacement of VBA is Power Query (with the M language) or JavaScript with JQuery (that's one of the reasons why Office 2019 allows you to create functions in JavaScript instead of in VBA).

And almost nobody will write VBA anymore as only JavaScript Excel functions will be supported on Mac, Windows, and Online.

Microsoft is moving everything to the web using mainly Typescript that is compiled in JavaScript and powered by Electron.

But the future will tell us what will really happen (the roadmap change many times). We will speak again about this in 2024+3 = 2027. See ya!" - Vincent ISOZ

Lol, his comment stunned me. I do have lots of argument with him thereafter but the may the best commenter win the argument. 

But I know he didn't opposed the VBA Idea but he advocated him self for the upcoming demands from the industry. So he literally asked us,

are we ready to supply over demands?

Let's discuss this....
