Why do people still use VBA?
Honestly, this is something I've been wanting to do for a while... Last I looked though, I couldn't find many good resources on how WASI (or the byte code) worked... And VBA being single threaded might make things difficult too...
I have already built my own code interpreter in VBA to make Lambda syntax possible: https://github.com/sancarn/stdVBA/blob/master/src/stdLambda.... so I know it's definitely possible, just haven't figured out WASM yet...
I do RPA from VBA personally using IAccessiblity. See stdAcc (https://github.com/sancarn/stdVBA/blob/master/src/stdAcc.cls) and an example (https://github.com/sancarn/stdVBA-examples/tree/main/Example...)
I have invested copious amounts of time into building VBA libraries (https://github.com/sancarn/stdVBA) and as much as I love vba there are some highly limiting actual problems with VBA (https://sancarn.github.io/vba-articles/issues-with-vba.html) which really hurt the language. But yes a large portion of the hate VBA gets is from the state of VBA projects (https://sancarn.github.io/vba-articles/why-is-vba-most-dread...)

Writing a Compiler is Surprisingly Easy (part 1)
I have an open source compiler-interpreter for VBA here: https://github.com/sancarn/stdVBA/blob/master/src/stdLambda....
In case you were interested :P
You could have just treated everything as variant correct? That's what we do here: https://github.com/sancarn/stdVBA/blob/master/src/stdLambda....

How long have you been using VBA? What do you use it for at your job? Or for personal reasons
Sometimes, though more of a library / tool developer here. See stdVBA or stdVBA-examples

Bulk Structured Spreadsheet Extractor
Otherwise this library poses as an example of how to use stdVBA libraries. Libraries used in this project: stdEnumerator, stdArray, stdCallback, stdCOM, stdICallable, stdLambda, stdRegex.

A Fast and Simple Settings Management Module. Automatically sets everything up and works for PC or MAC
If you want a solution though see stdSettings. There are both system and user settings. Users are bound by their domain, so should work across organisations :)

Worst and best of VBA
Aha motivations for stdVBA which is a library I made. It resolves some of these points in some ways. E.G. stdLambda acts as a Lambda syntax for VBA. stdCallback allows you to ripe the benefits of first class functions, without those functions existing.

stdEnumerator - Enumerate and manipulate any collection/array/class with very few statements
Template can be found here. Sadly this doesn't deal with compile errors, and it really isn't a nice user experience, but it works.
