From: Glen Ditchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Could you just use Scheme for this, instead of inventing another language?
I know there are a bunch of GNUCash developers that are fond of Scheme, but let's be realistic here: how many end users are familiar with Excel/Lotus spreadsheet syntax versus how many end users are familiar with Scheme? The reason my company implemented a spreadsheet language was to provide maximum functionality/flexibility to non-programmers. By extending the vocabularly of a syntax users are already familiar with, we make things very approachable to users. If you're just interested in something for computer geeks who know Scheme, Lisp, or other variants, Scheme is just fine, but I doubt you'll find many users. If you want to provide real value to a guy who has been running his business on spreadsheets and wants to move to something more powerful this could be a very welcome feature. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
