Not too long ago, I wrote a small decision support system for
engineers in a spreadsheet application that we all know too well.
Because the calculations should be transparent, everything was
realized with the in-cell functions. It works now. However, the
length and complexity of the cell commands keep the application
pretty opaque.
Therefore, I looked for a spreadsheet with more powerful functions
and data structures that are accessible inside each cell.
Something like Python that empowers you to do things quickly. And
yes, it should be free and it should run on Linux as well as on
Windows. I looked around and found nothing that suited me.
Therefore, I started pyspread.
