librasteve | on: We should be more ambitious with the software we build
I made a new spreadsheet https://omasheet.org based on a wish list of the things I wanted:

  - ease of use
  - markdown friendly
  - strongly typed
  - exact maths
  - columnar data (Apache Arrow)
  - fast queries (Polars)
  - code oriented
  - AI driven
(a partial list btw!)

Happy 41st birthday Excel
