A few years ago, I was asking for help in counting the number of characters in responses so that I could get the average response length for each respondent, and some power user gave me a miracle formula that only had to be pasted in the top cell of a column. It started "=let" and included stuff like "wraprows" and "reduce" and "lambda" and "Σ." I never understood it, but it worked for me then and I used it for several years.

Today Microsoft #Excel differences on Windows to macOS (missing menus just ribbon) got me thinking: can I not just run a #SpreadSheet in the #Linux #terminal for basic data work and visualisation? I want something akin to the original text only #Lotus123 (which I used for school work on DOS), but ideally with in-terminal graphics for #DataViz. There is https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im (must self compile, not trivial), several apparently abandoned tools like https://www.syntax-k.de/projekte/teapot/ - and multiple vibe-coded rust tools I'd rather avoid... Suggestions please?
