How come I can write CNC code, but when it comes to VBA I take an all expense paid trip to Herpaderpastan?

Because CNC code is written for native speakers of the Pocket Protector dialect, and VBA hails from the land of Aryoshiting Mae.

Well I'd be clueless when it comes to CNC code, but I'm a VBA wizard.

What is CNC code written in? VBA is mad easy yo.

Just standard G and M code for the most part, some machines use proprietary code, but still basically the same.

I have a fucking class on it this term.
VBA in Excel and then Access. I'm a mechanical engineer, what the fuck?

God I hated taking those fucking electives when I was doing my Comp Sci degree. So pointless.

I dunno, I can write computer code in C#, C++, and Python, but I still can't program a part from scratch in G-code. Heck, I can write a post processor to calculate G-code much easier than I can write G-code from scratch (which is good, because that's my job - I'm a post processor guy at a CAM software company).

I don't think they are really that comparable.
