The fact that this is part of the main formula language and not some bolted-on things means that is it somewhat incremental. Apply more of the incremental data log type research, and this really could be something neat. (The "grid calculus" would seem to indicate better linear algebra and maybe even tensor things are on the way, too!

I hope this gets implemented in libreoffice too; I will certainly tell non-programmers to stop using python or whatever and go back to spreadsheets!
