    Holy shit, I’ve been wanting a program almost exactly like that for years, so much so that it was on my list of programs to write myself! (The only differences are that I would’ve written it in Python instead of Typescript and would’ve made it scriptable only via Python instead of bothering to support Excel formulas, but hey, I’ll take it.)

      That will act as a major, I mean major deterrent for almost every companies trying to implement this. If you use Excel for database, you don’t code.

        Eh, I don’t care. I would’ve been writing it for me, not anybody else.

        Besides, if you use Excel, you do code – you’re just in denial about it.
