I have seen people abuse Excel to create amazingly beautiful reports and forms. It's pretty amazing, until one has to actually try to figure out what's going on.

In my opinion, the mixing of data and formulas is what makes it bad, and it's made worse by Excel showing the data first, and hiding the formulas. Arguably it should be the other way around.

In my programming language, I've been working on the idea of capturing the benefits of a spreadsheet as a reporting tool, but using regular programming for manipulating the data.

I'm now at a point where enough has come together to actually show how this is meant to work, so I made a very short video showing it off.
