I have to say that I was a little disappointed by this article. It doesn’t really demonstrate Kap as solving any of the issues that spreadsheets have, and it doesn’t really address many of the reasons people like spreadsheets.
Spreadsheets are reactive and stateless and allow you to move seamlessly from data storage to computation on that data. This is really just a calculator REPL that can ingest tabular data easily. I’d be more interested if they’d innovated more with the interface — maybe something node-based?
