Notebooks are very much based on linear order and side-effects, though (while Excel is, as you say, a purely functional DAG). Not sure how they can converge.

Cells of type one exist in a name space. Cells of type two exist in spacey space. This kind of thing exists at a larger scale for pipeline visualization. I could see it working for notebooks.
