Array Languages vs. the Curse of the Spreadsheet

• ExceLint

  2 67 0.0 F#

  Discontinued Finds formula errors in spreadsheets (plugin for Microsoft Excel)

  

It is a proper programming language.

For #1, there has been research on linting and automated semantic error or smell detection in Excel (e.g., https://github.com/ExceLint/ExceLint). Some features are live in Excel today!

For #2, Excel now supports Python.

I don't think you need to do any conversions, all of the necessary information exists in the spreadsheet.

• uiua

  9 1,393 10.0 Rust

  A stack-based array programming language

  

This is what I love in Uiua[1]. That operators can be written as english words instead of unicode symbols. Makes it quite similar looking to functuinal point free code.
