this looks really cool! I've been reading quite a bit about spreadsheet/calculation engines as I've been building my own as a hobby project recently, and the whole space is pretty interesting.

Any reading pointers? I've built my own cheapo one in js to support my financial modeling, but it's not quite general purpose so I get away with a lot. Would be curious how to take it to the next level without reinventing the wheel.

  Not spreadsheet, but concept is the same: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2018/03/build-systems.pdf https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2018/0... You need to solve recursive dirty updates.

  This is one of the best sources [1]. Spreadsheet implementation in C# + corresponding book. [1] https://www.itu.dk/people/sestoft/funcalc/ https://www.itu.dk/people/sestoft/funcalc/

    excellent! thank you so much—these things are difficult to find on search engines.

Nice! Any open source code I can check out?

  possibly at some point in the future, it's a very early prototype right now. the objective is actually to make a spreadsheet-based video game.

have you seen any C++ or C spreadsheet engines that look reasonable. I need to embedded a spreadsheet engine in a C++ system and have looked at using either sc-im and also this obscure project called teapot. I need a spreadsheet style runtime formulas and cells, not a calculation engine for compile time.
