Microsoft is bringing Python to Excel
> Many languages that are considered "precision" languages have some form of suffix to denote large/long/arbitrary-sized literals. (C# there's a big useful difference if a literal ends with `m` or `l`.)
The failure mode is significantly different when comparing JS to other mainstream languages. Most languages have a "checked" mode (either opt-in or mandatory) so that expressions like `4611686018427387904 + 4611686018427387904` can raise an error, whereas JS will just give you the wrong answer. Python is the most ergonomic for beginners or non-developers because the runtime will convert an integral type to an arbitrary precision integer on overflow.
Yes, there are alternative primitives that can be used, but you need to know they exist. We're talking about a tool that is explicitly designed for people who are not professional programmers, and JS's behavior here is surprising unless you understand the underlying data model. I would personally much rather give beginners a tool incorporating as few footguns as possible.
> JS is a language with the tools today to do precision arithmetic (whether you like it or not)
Arbitrary precision arithmetic has been possible in JS since the language was invented, but it has always been a pain. The bignum NPM package[0] predates the BigInt numeric primitive by 9 years. The addition of `BigInt` to ES2020 was important for performance (since implementing an arithmetic primitive in JS makes calculations dog slow), but it didn't add any fundamental affordances to the language.

Ditto: Open-Source Clipboard Manager for Windows
There are some really really good open source clipboard libraries like https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ . I'd love to see a more cross-platform version.
It's shocking to me how much user-agency I feel like I could get from better control over my clipboard. Whether I want to turn a url into an archive.today/ url or remove crappy tracking links, or whether I want to send a url to another device, or share it... Having a history of things I've copied. The clipboard is weirdly the one interstitial system left standing in computing, and everything else is siloes and isolation. I'd love to see more and more work to make good open source explorations here.
Does anyone know if clipboard managers are possible in Android? I'm vaguely under the impression that by design this is a capability reserved for the keyboard one is using. I'd love to be wrong here.

Best Clipboard Managers for MacOS ? (working on Monterey)
/u/MaxGaav CopyQ looks like it has an editor. Doesn't look as polished as Copy 'Em I think, which is new to me. That looks great.

So maybe xclip isn't deprecated, but here's something better! Announcing the Clipboard Project 0.7.0, take two
I thought otherwise, given that "Unlimited history" is literally CopyQ's most thumbs-upped issue: https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/510

Is There A Clipboard That Allows me to Drag and Drop Like Scatter Clipboard?
https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ Looks like what you are after. Haven't used it myself, but the drag 'n' drop feature you're specifying looks to be supported.

Looking for simple clipboard app..
There are Ditto and CopyQ. They don't show you a list of paste-able items via right-click context menu though, but you can open a list of paste-able items by clicking the icon in your task bar in the bottom right corner.
What are some alternatives?
