Ooh, Office Scripts definitely look a lot like JavaScript to me. Microsoft hasn't updated VBA in ages, so I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on the chopping block at some point. On the Windows side, VBScript is already being phased out, and it seems like only JScript will remain for compatibility reasons. They've also been neglecting VB.NET for years now, with nearly all focus shifting to C#.
So it really does seem like Microsoft is deliberately distancing itself from BASIC‑style languages. It's sad, but probably just a business decision in the end.
