What's old is new again.
- drob518 6mo agoExactly. I immediately thought, “So, we’ve invented VisiCalc all over again.”
- freedomben 6mo agoTBF, VisiCalc is not open source, and this is relatively fresh start, so I don't think it's fair to compare this to a reinvention.
- drob518 6mo agoIsn’t that what reinvention means?
- freedomben 6mo agoI suppose that's fair, and I concede, though I think you can play with the definition enough to make anything spreadsheet (even GUIs and webapps) be "reinvention" of visicalc, so I think the term is actually pretty meaningless.
- drob518 6mo agoMy point was, it's a spreadsheet in a term window. That's basically what VisiCalc was in the 80s.
- freedomben 6mo agoAppreciate the clarification, and sorry, I wasn't trying to be a pedantic pain in the ass :-)
- drob518 6mo agoNo worries; all good.
