Future of Coding

I'm doing a lot of tinkering with spreadsheets as "end user programming" lately, anybody else doing anything cool in this space?

I work in the data / viz / BI space and I think Sigma Computing here is doing some interesting work here pushing the boundaries of spreadsheet-y type of interfaces:

Last summer I worked on a live programming environment inspired by spreadsheets, <https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9476942>.

We had a project that aimed at replacing the spreadsheet with a visual dataflow programming language similar to <https://enso.org/>.  But I've come around that the spreadsheet (grid of cells) is more intuitive to most people

There's also this awesome demo that is like making spreadsheets/tables act more like SQL databases (but no sql required) <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wZmYMWKLkY>
