I think there's a different focus with JS vs VBA or C#. JS is the future because of Office365 ie. Cloud/online apps are the future.

I don't think C# integrates with the o365 codebase, but I'd consider both JS and C# as attempt to move people to good dev practices, C# with IDE/versioning/debug etc and JS with the approach of funneling data in and out of excel eg. Cloud compute, and then using excel for basic functions that don't involve using macros etc.
