Two articles on HN, yet still no answer to "How is this better than using Python and Excel with COM?"
I'm almost disappointed that so many people think this is an impressive new thing.
- stephengillie 14y agoMaybe many people were unaware this was possible. My coworker was certainly excited.
- maxerickson 14y agoHello Cell is far simpler with IronSpread. No instantiating a COM object, no opening a workbook, no selecting a worksheet, etc.
- Bootvis 14y agoIt might not be very impressive technically but that is not the major selling point (to me). I like it because Ironspread allows me to use Python in Excel without having to learn COM. This is great because interacting with Excel would be the only reason to learn COM for me (and my co-workers).
