Spreadsheets automatically recalculate on partial updates to their inputs, which automates a lot of the coding that would be involved in data analysis. They are also a portable format that can be universally understood, which is much harder to say about dataframes in a typical business/work setting.
- socialdemocrat 6y agoThe Pluto notebook for Julia does exactly the same. It creates dependencies between code cells and data automatically. If you change any data or code, that code ripples through through the rest of the notebook. So e.g. you could bind a slider to a variable and if that variable is used in a plot, dragging that slider will modify the plot in realtime.
