I may not be of the right generation to remember APL, but I used to love spreadsheets ... until I had to look at the same spreadsheet later [shudder]. Using Org tables for small things and an actual program (python, R, julia, etc.) for anything medium-large I've found vastly superior to spreadsheets. Good for Excel, but as far as I'm concerned it's a bit like making a pitcher plant smell nicer 🙃. The trap is more enticing, but you still end up in the same mess. -- Timothy
