Excel team considering Python as scripting languag...
I hope they wont localise the function names like they do for cell formulas. Never have i met someone who enjoyed this.

I do quite a bit of VBA, but not much other programming. Could you clarify what you mean by localized?
Just that the cell formulas cannot be (elegantly) accessed from VBA?

The formula names are translated into different languages so if you are used to using Excel in your native language you can't easily use it in English or vice versa.
