Is there a more valuable alternative to VBA?
VBA is a fine language for many Excel tasks and is unlikely to go away any time soon. In terms of alternatives though you might consider the .NET family of languages F# and C# and VB.NET that are used across the software development industry. I am designing an addin that tightly integrates F# as a scripting language to replace many of the capabilities of VBA as well as providing easier access to external data sources. You can check it out at https://www.sharpcells.com If you need to customise the ribbon you could also look at https://excel-dna.net/ which allows you to work with any .NET language with more ability to customise Excel but is not as tightly integrated.

Issue with .tlb file in Excel
I would suggest to you to take a look into excel-dna, it's a pretty good project to build functions for excel. https://github.com/Excel-DNA/ExcelDna

Trying VSTO, what to expect?
ExcelDNA is an open source project that takes care of a lot of the complexity of the COM API and lets you use .Net for writing Excel Addins but not for other Office applications. Their latest versions should work with .Net 5+.

US Equity Index Options Pricing and Scenarios
Not sure why paying for a plug-in that lets you call python functions in excel is still a thing anymore when there’s pretty activity community that integrates excel with .NET. From there it’s easy to use python. https://excel-dna.net

Creating an Excel Add-In in D
Yeah, it's practically archaeology now! It is very fast for doing some things, though.
If anyone's interested in it from a Dot Net perspective, ExcelDNA [0] was excellent when I used it a few years ago.

Libcurl
While it doesn't appear to have been updated in many years, Microsoft built a similarly useful tool[1] that lets you browse the structure of a given Office document and see C# code that generates various components of it.

Is it possible to use Microsoft Word features programatically?
If you use this check out the productivity tool, it will convert a word doc to csharp for you. https://github.com/dotnet/Open-XML-SDK/releases/tag/v2.5

Go library that supports extraction and generation of word documents with complex formulae, equations, tables and images.
You’re looking for OpenXML handling. C# probably has the best support, since there’s a Microsoft supported SDK - https://github.com/dotnet/Open-XML-SDK
-
If you had to pick a library from another language (Rust, JS, etc.) that isn’t currently available in Python and have it instantly converted into Python for you to use, what would it be?
https://github.com/dotnet/Open-XML-SDK Yeah, it can be kind of wrapped with pythonnet and stuff. But having it totally pyhtonized would be sooooo great.

Count lines, words, and characters of a MS Word file? ( i.e. Test1.docx )
As an alternative, you could use the Powershell module Open-XML-SDK or PSwriteWord, or PSWriteOffice

OpenXml throws a different exception given identical code and similar build configuration for two distinct solutions. Why?
PackageLoader was introduced in https://github.com/OfficeDev/Open-XML-SDK/commit/522200f65b9182f65a112130f830403467f54936

In the official GitHub repository you will find similar tools listed, if you have a very particular requirement not fulfilled by OpenXML SDK.

Formatting issues from Mac to Windows
Or alternatively you can create a .NET application using the Open XML SDK that does the same thing.

Launch HN: Windmill (YC S22) – Turn scripts into internal apps and workflows
This looks amazing and I'd love to try it out for this one thing I have in mind.
I'm not familiar with the Deno part of Typescript. Would it somehow be possible to use a C# library as a dependency?
For example https://github.com/OfficeDev/Open-XML-SDK I need for a way to edit (not create) the openXML content of Microsoft Office files
