I believe they canned it and went for javascript instead.

Which if they also enable webassembly in the future is cool, because it means you will be able to run pretty much any language.

Do you remember how you came by this knowledge?

When one developer said they rewrote office into JavaScript. The assumption is probably not accurate still

I don't but it was around the announcement of Office 2019 which introduced javascript as an alternative scripting language to VBA.
