Excel Add-in
For Excel Add-In in c# i have good experience with ExcelDNA

Show HN: I've built a C# IDE, Runtime, and AppStore inside Excel
Does this use https://excel-dna.net/ behind the scenes?

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.

DMD Compiler as a Library: A Call to Arms
Here's the pipeline spitting out the same error as on my macbook did.

My favourite Git commit (2019)
Not completely on topic (if you read TFA) but my favorite Git commit is by compiler badass and HN frequenter, where he checks in an entire C compiler to the D language repo:

The C Bounded Model Checker: Criminally Underused
A new generated code alone is 4000 lines long [1]. The actual code added is just 2000 lines, and some are used to pay debts, I mean, to make a proper code generator (which can be alternatively written in a simpler scripting langauge). In any case it is never comparable to the entier C parser proper.

OpenD, a D language fork that is open to your contributions
D is completely opensource already (https://github.com/dlang/dmd). The "open" of OpenD is just ADR saying that OpenD will be more open to new language features than D has historically been.

The OpenD Programming Language (fork of D)
The reference compiler, DMD, is open source: https://github.com/dlang/dmd
But they don't accept just any Pull Request or features the community submits, understandably. There's a process called DIP for language improvements: https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/README.md
However, by some accounts, it's really hard to get anything through.
Given D already has so many feature, I find that to be a good thing , to be honest, by not everyone agrees, of course.
