XLIDE: VBA without excel (github.com)

Wonder how extensively VBA is used in today's Excel. I know that macros are considered dangerous but would love to know if there are exceptions for that rule.

On the other hand I wonder why aren't they run in such a sandbox where the most destructive action they can do is to wipe the sheets.

Gonna have some fun with this!

Very cool in theory. Unfortunately it's just 12klocs of a vibe-coded week-end project.

Edit: it's actually 50klocs since the pyOpenVBA dependency is from the same author and has been made the week-end before.

Also known as: downside without the upside.

What i don't get is...why? why not just use VB.net (or some other tool)
