WSH is quite an achivement and not getting the recognition it deserves.
I came across it when i was thinking to myself that the main flaw in Excel was that to do anything sophisticated you had to resort to Visual Basic, instead of a real scripting language. But as I discovered, you can use WSH to enable almost ANY scripting language for excel (and many other applications) now, once some bindings are implemented of course. For example you can use both python and perl as excel scripting languages almost out of the box.
