Microsoft jams Python into Excel

Python is coming to Excel. If you 1. know what that means and 2. are excited by it, then yep, you are a certified dork and I love you. According to a support document from Microsoft, "Python in Excel brings the power of Python analytics into Excel. Use it to process data in Excel with Python code. You type Python directly into a cell, the Python calculations run in the Microsoft cloud, and your results are returned to the worksheet". No local version of Python is included or needed, as everything runs in the cloud - which of course means internet access is required. Also it's only available in the Windows version of Excel (via the Microsoft 365 Insider Program & Beta Channel). No word if this will come to the Mac version of Excel.
