yeah and than they argue that they can't program.
or that they can't write down pseudocode of their excel macros.
but they use way more complex if/elseif/else statements than everybody.
they know how to use the ridiculousness of a vlookup.
and than some of these guys figured out to use powerfx via power apps another behemoth of a excel kind of syntax and they still don't think tey can program.
language is definitly not the blocker. heck there are even people who write brainfuck, just to have fun.
I mean yeah cucumber is probably not the future of programming.
If I’m told to build a report or form collection for a product.
I always tell them to go build it in excel first. Than it to hand me. Sometimes I build it out in excel. 100% everytime they change everything about it several times over, but I can make all the changes requested in minutes instead of hours, days or weeks.
Implementing a working excel document in a modern language is trivial.

Non-technical folks write complete IT systems in the nightmarish programming language of Excel macros.
I think the language used language isn't the main blocker here.
