Early in in my career I was part of a small company that developed a grid-based language for geospatial applications. The grid approach worked well for a lot of aspects, like implicit caching and concurrency. The cells could contain data that defined a view, such as a map or chart. The downside of the grid was the same as it is with spreadsheets. The identifiers are not as visible as they are in a flat-file based programming language. What cell the interest rate in again? It was amazing how well it worked even on state of the art Sun SPARCstation 5s at the time. |
