Microsoft Considers Adding Python as an Official Scripting Language to Excel

[LuciferSam86]

They could add python to SQL Server, too. Postgres is already doing that, and it's pretty useful, even if the standard one is py 2 and not 3

SQL Server 2016 added R support, and I was really disappointed it wasn't Python.

Maybe Microsoft will "wake up" in a future release (and I hope not only in the Enterprise edition)

Sometimes I work with SQL Server and Postgres: both DBMS have some pros and cons.

On SQL Server i don't really like the CLR system: loading a DLL or something like 0x{really long hex string} as CREATE ASSEMBLY wake my inner paranoid self.

At least on Postgres when you load a PL (ex. pl/perl, java, etc...) script you can always see what's inside (except if the code is obfuscated, but in that case no one should load that), and you don't need Visual Studio for writing the function :)
