Seems to me a bit of an odd launch from Anthropic

Aren't their core users developers? Why release a sheets extension?

Google Sheets and Excel are Turing complete

So is PowerPoint and Minecraft but you won't see me advocating building our next backend out of redstone

Spreadsheet people are the world's most common developers. A spreadsheet is just a programming environment where every memory address has a visual representation on-screen.

I'm doing spreadsheets right now. If it needs to be dynamic and you don't want to use scripts but rather plain Excel formulas w/o the fancy functions introduced with excel 2010, it's pure programming with a limited syntax:)

I assume it's because Google is one of their biggest investors and they are pursuing a range of integrations with them.
