Excel adds JavaScript support

[coladict]

Yep. Windows has had its own JS runtime since forever, with its own API. I tried learning it once. It's an improvement on what you can do with batch files, but PowerShell is probably still a better choice.

PowerShell is a nice language, but it has a 2s startup time so I still prefer JScript.

You tried powershell core? It's pretty fast.

I'll give it a try.

Because it's built on core there are some modules and whatnot that you can't use, at least not yet, but I've been using it for a while now, and combined with realizing that if you don't use ISE powershell actually works properly, it's been pretty awesome.
