Hey Joe have you ever thought of using Python for automation? I would love to see you use python to automate some stuff and put a video or two on it. You have some impressive understanding of the code you are writing and python has a very intuitive and simple syntax so transitioning shouldnt be a problem. On top of that there are many libraries to choose from in Python.
