I initially raised my eyebrows since what actual tables would have brought would be joins on non unique keys and multiple columns.
That would have unlocked more versatile "table programming" as in SQL, pandas, R and to some degree Excel.
The real benefit of "table programming" is that it is default distributable. All operations are atomic and immutable.
(I also lost some interest in Lua after -4 downvotes).
