Wish it had interesting alternatives like all the C++ alternatives today. Imagine a spreadsheet that could be 'compiled' into a full stack program.

- WorldMaker 11mo agoThat's sort of what Microsoft's Power BI and Power Apps do. Both provide a lot of "this is just Excel" feelings to business users. If you push things Excel to Power BI to Power Apps you eventually get ejection to code. The Power Apps code generator isn't particularly great, it's not fun to work in that sort of "started as low code and ejected to real code" codebase, but it's just ugly looking C# at that point and lots of paths exist to productionize it and make it better.
