Side question: Why the hell is it so stupidly difficult to display and edit tabular data from programming code? You can't drive Excel from Python/Rust/etc (Microsoft just announced to great fanfare that Excel can call Python--which is the wrong way around). All the editable table widgets for the web seem to suck. Nobody seems to have a TUI which you can drive from an external program. A poorly written spreadsheet with a driveable API seems like a component that has been built multiple times by lots of people yet seems to be unavailable. Is there some solution that I'm missing?
