Sorry, I was talking about VB6, and other languages I have had to port. I have never ported VBA, as mentioned in the OP.
I always looked an VBA as more of scripting language anyhow...macros and crap. 
I would use Visual Studio Tools for Office then and C# if I had to do anything in porting VBA, etc.

Yes, I did such a thing last year (Excel VBA to MFC, actually). One piece of code went from about 75 minutes (while also tying up the CPU to where nothing else could run) down to less than 10. The decrease in time and demand on the CPU were amazing.

Done a ton of VBScript to C#. This site, actually. Was great fun!

It's like that question "How do you eat an Elephant?"
Answer: one bite at a time.
Better answer is that you need someone who knows C well. C has no seatbelts or airbags like VBA so be gentle with that accelerator - it's twitchy!

Without him, I think the show's future is in jeopardy.
Yes, I went there. :-p

I don't think they have named a replacement. Not sure they will continue the show. Perhaps, they will have a period of mourning prior to naming someone. That would be a good way to do this.

They are twice as much as generic ESP32 boards and the SPI interface doesn't even work right.
When asked about it in their support forums their support team responded with "the ESP32 chip is unstable and weird"
'scuse me, but "weird?"
why am I paying twice as much for a board with a chip on it that you don't know about? If you're not dialed in on how the ESP32 works, what are you doing making a board for it, much less charging twice as much? When the company calls the heart of their own product "weird" and "unstable" I'm going somewhere else.
The generic boards don't have this problem and are half the price.
Grrr. They remind me of apple.

Weird := made in China | counterfeit in China | relabled old junk from China
How else do you think they can keep their prices low?

adafruits prices are twice as high as anyone else. Meanwhile I've got a chinese knockoff that works fine. It's backward with these boards - the clones are better quality half the time.

That does not mean anything. Where do you think their parts or boards from? And how do you think 40 year old 'new' parts keep popping up on Ebay? Even genuine parts can be a little weird because they are very tolerant with tolerances and make a little extra profice by selling you that stuff that should have been sorted out.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Also I thought I was pretty clear in terms of what I meant, but okay. Not sure where to take this so I'm just going to back away now.

It simply means that there are a lot of bandits out there who try to sell you low quality parts for good money. Have a video: "Fake" chips? - YouTube[^]
