Pros
Pro Immediate practical use.
VBA contains all of the same ingredients as more general-purpose programming language and can be immediately put to use in a professional capacity from inside Windows programs such as Excel.

Very good CLI and webpack, bundling, testing, deployment support. Deep TypeScript integration and support.
Cons
Con Limited Use
While it makes a lot of sense for someone wanting to get the most out of Microsoft Office and a handful of other applications, perhaps for the very practical reason of bolstering performance at work, it is restricted to use in those applications and is not suited for more general use most learners of programming are seeking.
Con Slightly over-engineered
Very enterprisey - made for huge architectures and with tons of declarative, non-intuitive annotations it makes it overkill for very small projects.
Con Native i18n support over-engineered
Not developer-friendly. Switching languages need reloading the whole page. There are third party solutions that work better.
