    I think the concept behind spreadsheets is excellent. I wish tools like Mathematica, Jupyter and even programming language sandboxes were more like spreadsheets

        Excel is one of the most powerful functional programming platforms ever invented.

        Thank you for the mention @jimpick! Indeed @stencila implements the reactive paradigm allowing for more spreadsheet-like behavior but allows for using Python, R etc Would be happy to hear your thoughts and feedback:https://community.stenci.la/

        VisTrails tried this, still around I think. Table-oriented, cells can have computed content including graphics. But stayed researchy; had perf and packaging issues; too early/missed github community effect. (python meant it was too slow for graphics use-case too, IMHO).

        MevisLab is better-executed (bit closer to labview for medical imaging). It’s a phenomenal piece of software, but historically non-free so lives in a small niche of “used by a few German companies for RAD.”

        :@jack thinks that spreadsheets were the first type of abstract software invention that didn’t have a good physical analogue? (I’m probably not explaining this as well as he could.)

        Accountants and business school graduates called the paper originals spread sheets first. Dan Bricklin invented the desktop computer version, #Visicalc, because he was tired of erasing his spreadsheets for each revision for cash flow projections.

        In what sense would you prefer notebooks were more like spreadsheets? A better REPL like workflow?
