Congratulations, this is awesome. One of those "why hasn't someone done this already?" projects. I can see this becoming transformative and superseding Excel, which is a bold claim to make. But this is compliant (with Excel), performant, extensible, free, and in-browser. This could easily become almost an emacs-level editor. Think of the interfaces that could be built to this in this? I'll be sharing this with every student I know. And the name is a winner.

> One of those "why hasn't someone done this already?" projects. I think this one is fairly clear. It’s because it’s a massive amount of work with a not necessarily large payoff for yourself? I think some of these basically get made when someone gets too annoyed something similar doesn’t exist.

  It is a massive amount of work. Another thing I might add, not the most appealing thing to work on.

    I suppose at least you get to check off a lot of boxes when another formula passes all test cases :)

Why would there be any reason for this to kill excel? Seriously you should try to replace excel entirely rather than merely get a better version of it. If you want to get a better excel just buy excel and actually learn how to use it.

Woah, thanks for the kind words! This is out of date, and not a priority ATM, but we will have a TUI for it: https://github.com/ironcalc/TironCalc https://github.com/ironcalc/TironCalc
