Beads does not replace Excel, but it can close the gap between Excel and the popular programming languages, which have a great deal of unnecessary complexity in them. For example, in HTML/CSS/JS, the comment syntax varies between the 3 languages. Why are there 3 distinct languages in one source file? When in history was this ever done? I can remember mixing 2 languages, but 3? that's just ridiculous.

Code which doesn't execute has very few bugs in it in my experience. And those bugs tend to be easier to fix, than say a register clobberation bug in assembly language which i have had to wrestle with before. Telling the computer what to do, but not telling it how, does cut out a lot of effort (and potential errors).

You have every right to be skeptical, but i hope you can overcome your initial skepticism to at least take it for a test drive.
