@judell @bitsplusatoms @eschaton @bitsavers I will add that Excel does something that very few of the other programming languages let you do: you can program in your native language (you don't have to use English). For example, Excel has a Spanish version for each function, so I can even "guess" the function name and don't need to remember that "promedio" is AVG or MEAN or something without any sense to me. Only 4.8% of the world's population speaks English as a first language. ;-)
