MicrosoftI never leave a comment, but today I will, when I make vbscript code do a function it just works. Jscript is useless any javascript example does not work in jscript. You have to download NodeJS to get functionality. Which loosely works with browser consoles. I was developing an interaction in JS for web automation which to get speed to complete had to do in vbscript, because downloading entire frameworks destroy KISS method. The notion that it has security flaws is dumb at best ignorant at least, powershell gives you a warning to lock running .ps and then you have to unlock it to run it. you say this is good, well tell that to admins that make their password... password. Powershell syntax is nowhere as easy to deploy as vbscript, and vbscript so far the only thing I have not been able to do is oauth directly from the script but you can get around it by interacting with some software objects. I can do multithreading with minimum overhead and IPC. You will be amazed at what you can do. I know they are using powershell for admins, only if you use powershell as a non admin then you get fired. then you are stuck with incompetant admins that are cheap. I can with VBscript automate PowerBI. Power automate is trash it was their paid solution for UIPath both are more expensive than a vbscript dev. Python requires middleware to run an instance that will always generate an error. If MS hired me to be a VBscript dev I know I could update it and make it profitable. Then you will cry cross platform which is silly because Java solutions are all based on htttp type work, which vbscript handles right out of box. oh I was doing MCP with ChatGPT with vbscript before it was popular, fast to deploy and much smaller footprint. And adding functionality does not involve a convoluted framework system.
