Cool project for sure, but it does provoke the obligatory Emacs org-mode as a spreadsheet plug. [1]
I use it often, mostly for my D&D character sheet, but occasionally for work.
Works the same in terminal or GUI, with elisp formula evaluation (including Emacs calc functions), column types, table relationships, and, with org-babel, access to other languages and their libraries (for plotting, etc.) Can even read from DB into an org table and then manipulate data and write back.

- dig1 6y agoBeside Calc and elisp, you can use almost any other programming language for formula calculations as well [1], which makes it extremely powerful. [1] https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html#spreadsheet https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html#spread...
- imglorp 6y agoHeh, not just calc and org, there's several dedicated spreadsheet modes, too. https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SpreadSheet https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SpreadSheet
- clauderoux 6y agoOf course, you are right. However, tamgucalc launches instantly in your terminal, which is not always the case for emacs, which is sometimes a bit to slow.
- joseph8th 6y agoNot so. Emacsen run server-client. Instantaneous.
