Is the argument here that "if you know how to code, spreadsheets aren't useful to you?" If so, that's false. Spreadsheets are a fantastic way to present visual data and analysis in a way that's auditable by anyone, regardless of technical competence. They are visual programming! This also makes them a better way to do lightweight data processing. One of my most common workflows is to dump production data into a CSV so I can analyze it and build charts off it. This is perfect for business-as-usual questions, like basic segmentation analyses. Pivot tables! A major issue with Google Sheets is that the DSL is terrible. Like, try to do any sort of string manipulation (extract the first two words)[1], and you'll see how bad it is. Adding native python support helps solve this. I'm just a random HN-er who saw this, but I'm very excited about this product. --- [1] https://www.spreadsheetclass.com/extract-text-or-numbers-fro... |
