I'd really like to have a small, lightweight (in UI) program that I can use to do some quick math I'd usually start spreadsheet software for
I'm sure most people would just use a text editor and their calculator of choice (or just use python/ ruby/ bash interactively),
and honestly Libre Office Calc starts up fairly quickly on my main computers
but still I'd like to have just a table with some basic spreadsheeting math
@noiob depending on what I want to do, here I either go with https://quassy.github.io/elementary-apps/NaSC/ or http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/calc/ in the CLI.
@aperezdc I might've not explained it well but I specifically wanna work with 1D/2D lists of data
@noiob ahh, got it, sorry for jumping in with a somewhat unrelated answer… should've read more carefully.
Instead of localc (bloated, IMO) for a while I used Gnumeric (lighter), but a couple of years ago I settled on https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im which has Lua scripting. I haven't tried the scripting support, and it's not JavaScript as you asked for, but maybe it'll do for you.
@aperezdc looks interesting, thanks
@aperezdc yeah nope I need a GUI lol, I can't figure out the simplest things and I don't know whose fault it is (I built it in WSL) but the built-in help scrolls brokenly
I don't really need scripting I just felt like having less Excel-y functions and stuff would be easier for me to get into
@aperezdc thanks anyways
@noiob no problem at all 🤗
bonus points if I can write, idk, javascript instead of Excel formulas
