Linus Torvalds says VBA coming to Linux Kernel "like, right away"
“This is way better than that Rust junk,” stated one Kernel contributor.
At a recent Linux Foundation event, Linus Torvalds announced, to an excited crowd, that full support for Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) would be merged into the mainline Linux Kernel, “like, right away.”
“The ability to create Linux Kernel core features using VBA has been the number one feature request for, jeeze, like, forever,” stated the Linux creator. “I mean, who doesn’t want to turn a Microsoft Excel macro into a kernel module?”
“This was always the plan for VBA, right from the start,” stated Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. “When VBA was first created, way back in 1993, the entire goal was to use it for enhancing the Linux Kernel… which wasn’t even at version 1.0 yet! That’s how much Microsoft has always loved Linux and Open Source! You’re welcome!”
One Linux Kernel developer, speaking to The Lunduke Journal, expressed excitement at the prospect. "I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent writing code, in the Linux kernel, that sets the value of the cells in a column. Now, I can do a simple Range(“A1”).Value=”1” right in the kernel! Finally! The way it was meant to be!”
“This is way better than that Rust junk,” stated another Kernel contributor.
But not everyone was happy about the upcoming addition to the kernel. Some Linux enthusiasts took to Twitter to voice their displeasure with the idea. One such comment resulted in the following exchange:
"On Error Resume Next" is a good rule to live by.
Cool, with VBA we can add now major improvments to the Linux Kernel!
If app.Environment = "Windows Subsystem for Linux" Then
app.Launch(LinuxKernel)
Else
MsgBox "This program must be run in Windows Subsystem for Linux."
app.Quit()
End If
Commited!
