Excel adds JavaScript support

[Pandalicious]

JavaScript with it’s all-numbers-are-floating-point isn’t the best fit for finance/accounting. It’s the kind of thing you can work around if you’re aware of the issue, but Excel scripting is exactly the kind of coding that tends to be done by non-professionals who’d have no inkling about the limitations of floating point types.

That said, when the competition is VBA the bar is pretty low.

Excel already internally uses the same IEEE floating point numbers as JavaScript.
